Question About to order DPE R06 S variant...

OK, after lurking around the wheels forum for quiet some time I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on a new set of shoes for my ride. I'm hoping that you guys can give me a little help on some questions so I can get them ordered. I want to go with 9X19 fronts and 10x19 rears, DPE R06 S variant, black centers with a polished lip. So here are my questions:

What offset should I go with? I'd like the deepest dish possible on the front and back. Currently I don't have the Brembros but I'd like to add a big brake kit in the near future. If I get Brembro clearance numbers will I be OK if I get Stoptecs or some other brand later? Would spacers solve this in the end?

Polished lip? I've read that some people have had a hard time keeping polished lips clean. Should I order chrome, is that even an option with DPE?

Finally, does anyone have a hook-up on DPE wheels? I've gotten a couple of quotes; I just want to see if I can do any better.

BTW, I did search for DPE wheels, but the g35Drive search did come up with anything.

Thanks
~Chris

Hey,
Call Eric from SupremePowerParts. 714-632-1951. He sells alot of DPE wheels. Tell him Larry from SanDiego referred you. Tell him exactly what you want ( clear big brakes and biggest lip possible ). Go with black centers and polished lip. Shop is in So.Cal, so you can just pick-up. You can also email James from CreativeAutoworks ( james@creativeautoworks.com ). He can also get DPE's.

Hey thanks for the info and hook-ups! One funny thing everyone chimed in about Eric from SupremePowerParts, unfortunately his price was the highest quote I got. I was hopping to get 9x19 for the fronts but TwilightG35 is right 8 and 10 are their standard sizes. Looks like I'll be going 8x19 fronts and 10x19 rears. Does anyone know if a 2 inch stager will cause too much over steer or other problems?

Thanks,
~Chris

ive been running on my wheels for a pretty long time now and i havent had any problems what so ever. i think theres also some other members that have a 19x8 but most are on 8.5s. so i believe if you run on the recommended tire size you should be alright. (245/35 f and 275/35 r) im personally running a 275/30 and i havent had any vdc problems ever, the light has never even come on. hope this helps...
