Used a standard copper male poking through the wall with an escutcheon ring, and a fairly large chrome bushing, and it really did not look all that unusual.

I also thought about an inset plastic housing that the pipe can stick up through like a washing machine hookup, only smaller. On most showers I see the pipe and trim ring just flop around loosely. I hate that, but the basic design is bad to begin with and sloppy construction makes it worse.
