About 15 IBUs

5lb flaked wheat
3lb American 2 row
2lb American 6 row
1oz Coriander
1/4oz sweet orange peel
1/4oz bitter orange peel

Belgian wheat yeast

i have one in carboy now. used Saaz and hallertaur. i think most noble hops will do. something low in alpha acid. you want the bitter orange and coriander to be the frontrunners here.

Thanks a ton!

Saaz or Hallertauer.

I also use a small amount of cascade for the flavor addition since it imparts a nice citrus flavor.

Don't overhop your Wit. 15 IBUs I would consider an absolute maximum, and IMO 10 is even better.

I used strisselspalt. No hop is really going to "make" your wit, just don't pick one that will be totally out of place, which would be easy to do.
