'classic' looking
If you really want classic looking in tune with that frame, anything with a machined brake track will be wrong, and you should be seeking out some grey rims. Good luck finding NOS 28H Open 4 CD :) Since you can't have what you want, you might as well have something nice instead, like Kinlin XR22T. Once you go fat, you won't go back.

Here's what a pair of Harry Rowland-built Ambrosio Excellight looks like with silver hubs and spokes, on an old frame:
I'm very happy with them after ~4,000 miles, rear only needed truing after a recent crash. Aesthetically it's not absolutely "classic" but I think it works with the mix of black/white and silver components. If I were to repeat the refurb experiment, I'd be tempted to go down the silver TB14 route or similar, but I'm happy to stick with these for now.

The velocity a23 come in a classic-looking silver polish with a bunch of different drillings. I have em in black and they're the shit.

@William.
Harry Rowland has sourced some silver DA7800 hubs as a starting point for some 'classic' looking wheels. Mavic open pro 28h only come in black. How shit would sliver braking surface / black rim / silver spokes / silver hubs look? They're for this
