It's hard to go wrong with Autometer's they have white face gauges I'm not sure if they have all the same sizes as the black or carbon fiber faced gauges... This is what I did for my 68 RR, all vintage looking "Classics" with black faces & chrome bezels... Good luck

I used Marshall's on mine.  I liked the options to set alarm levels etc. that came with the SCX pro gauge sets.
info. http://www.marshallinstruments.com/catalog/scx_pro_gauges.cfm  There are others I think that have similar options.  I actually found the cheapest place was a guy on Ebay that sells them.  One or two boxes had a slightly different set button but Marshall sent me two more like the others without any issues.  The speedo doesn't use a cable as its programmed through a sending unit that can be reset anytime for a tire or gear size change.
I used these ones below more to my liking with flat faces.  Can't offer how well they work yet as I haven't got the motor built yet to hook everything up in the dash. When your comparing around check to see if the faces are flat, curved, plastic or glass, and what the internals are made of. Other things too all factor in what your going to pay for a set.  A little research time may save some headaches later in getting something you end up wishing you bought different.

Check out New Vintage gauges.  I went with the 67 style, with black faces, but you can get them in white.  I am very impressed with the quality, and price is reasonable.

Unlike Autometer, these gauges for the most part are logo free, which was a huge plus for me.
