Opinions on DPE Wheels

Hey Guys,
Want to get your opinions on these DPE R16 wheels, 19x8 and 19x10. Found a shop that has these wheels sitting around. Fits G and Z. Was planing on ordering the 20" R07 variant S in black, but these might be an option, no 6-8 weeks order wait. Just debating whether to pass these up and just order the 20" I wanted. Going on black G35 coupe.

I'd wait, how about 20s in the rear and 19s in the front? That would save some weight and performance. Porsche GT runs that setup.

I would order the wheels you wanted. The wait is worth it.

The r16 are one of the hottest rims I've ever seen. Not too mention you need 20's. 19's aren't big enough for the stance on that bodykit. The car will look sick though!

Get the 20" all the way.

The shop is selling the 19" R16's for $2380 rims only. Pretty much same price as 19" Volks, but no waiting on the DPE's. Seems too many G's and Z's are on Volks anyways. Too bad Volks dont make 20" SF challenge or Winnings in diamond black. Even thought about buying these and also ordering the 20" DPE. Roll on the 19's for couple months until the 20's show up. Guess that would be silly.

What does 19 front and 20 rear do? Just curious as other cars stagger sizes.

Some weight savings, less chance of damage to the fronts and less rotational mass on the fronts.

Will this hamper handling in any way? Looks wise it is a good idea as the rear fender well is bigger. I wanna see a G with this setup.

For me hopefully this spring. All the wheel distributors I've talked to, assured me there would be no detriment to handling or VDC with this setup.
