By the way, I'd stick with black rims on that Cervelo.
Incidentally, I've got some old Rigida wheels with cartridge hubs that are crazy shiny. I'll take a photo of them later

I think any amount of silver tone, any finish, is OK on any bicycle. Not that I'm a huge fan of silver, but I just think it's sort of a natural. Maybe kids growing up today will come to think of dark gray plastic as the natural look of bicycle parts. 
For the most put-together look, they should all have the very same tone - you know how different alloys may be warmer, cooler, or whiter? Finish is secondary. But for a more technical look, different tones and finishes are perfectly fine.
