What wheels would you pair with this Bianchi frame? Advice?

Just wondered what people thought I should do here. I have bought a vintage 70s Bianchi frame - see pic below - and am having it resprayed with new decals etc.

I have settled on most of the components to add and have purchased...

Campagnola Gran Strada crankset
Campagnola Valentino gear set and shifter
Universal 68 Brakes
Campagnolo Nuovo Record brake levers
Brooks brown leather saddle
ttt stem and handlebars with Brooks brown leather tape to match the seat.

But I'm in the dark about which wheels to get.

Would quite like (the impossible?) look of retro matched with something more modern and usable?

What would you recommend?

Cheers

Something chromed and box section from h plus son.
TB14 is the one to get I think.
 
Velo Orange PBP rims are very good and I think they do them as whole wheelsets. They look like an old polished rim but are as strong as a modern box section rim. Use a Michelin Classic tanwall tyre either in a 23 or 25.

this is what I was going to suggest. They do make them as wheelsets with their own polished hubs. Hubs look nice too and I think the price for a set is quite reasonable.
