You can do it over the roof without seeing the sunroof. You just put white checks on the black glass 
That would be cool because it hides the big sunroof up there. They also have "perforated" vinyl so that you can still see through the entire sunroof.
In terms of making the dark wheels fit. That's great that you are thinking about it. A lot of people forget to make color choices flow throughout the car and not just the wheels. On a CR/W you need to definitely have some black accents to tie the dark wheels into the car.
I think it would be possible for you to do that without even going with the checker board if you thought about these black accents:
-Aero grill, or black slats (like on mine)
-Cooper side grilles (nice little black accent on the side)
-Definitely get tinted windows. (mine are 50% tint above if that helps)
-Keep the black arches
Having those may easily be enough to tie the darker wheels into the picture. Having the black arches on MINI's makes running anthracite wheels pretty easy
Another pic of my car that shows the checkerboard with the other black accents:
and the wheels with the accents:

But the blacked-out beltline is a very cool look.
