Scrod -

I'm building up a Steel Langster.

So far the parts list is like this:

Soma 456 38 or 40 cms, with white or black tape.
Silver cranks and black chainring - I am thinking sugino rd2? Sugino RD2 crankset | Retrogression
I also like this - IRD Defiant track crankset | Retrogression

Stem will be 70-90 mm Nitto or like kind.

My big question is the wheels and tires. What color scheme would you go with?
Al I have now is my frame, fork, headset, and an old campy seatpost I've had a while.

I guess I am really asking your opinion so I don't end up with a dorky looking bike. My main concern is how it rides, I will be riding NYC streets. However it would be nice if it looked boss as fk also. Thanks man

Here are some examples, and here is the wheelset I am thinking of.
Miche Pistard WR track wheelset | Retrogression
