'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.

I have some xr22t built up by @cycleclinic
Great wheels.

I think I meant sympathetic, rather than classic. I have carbon DA wheels on my other Basso and it's fun to ride but ugly. I'll be happy with an improvement on that.
Do wider rims offer less tyre deformation, thus less rolling resistance and better cornering? I've read threads about this somewhere but can;t be bothered to dig it up.

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
