Well the build I have in mind is a 1987 steel frame so I'm going for a retro-friendly look. So the idea with the wheels is kind of an update on my old Mavic MA40 dark-anodised rims built on silver hubs, with gum wall tyres (I'm using Challenge Forte open tubulars). I don't think deep section rims would be at all appropriate in this case.
I guess it depends on your frame, and obviously personal taste, function, etc. but I kind of think skinny frame tubes / skinny wheels is a good match.
