Help w/ brake upgrades please.....

I'm looking to upgrade the braking system on my soon-to-be supercharged CL-S. I don't want to drop an outrageous amt. of $$$ on a big brake kit, I was thinking new pads, rotors, and the SS braided brake lines. I don't want the pads to give off tons of dust. As for the rotors, slotted, drilled, dimpled? Which are the pros/cons of each? Can you guys point me to some recommended brands? I'd appreciate the help.

next spring, I will get
1) Blank brembo front rotors ($100)
2) Hi Performace Ceramic Pads, Either the Hawk Performance HPS ($141) or this new Satisfied Pro Ceramic Pads ($77)
3) A set of SS brake lines. Goodridge G-Stop High Performance Brakeline, AEM, or Comptech. (~120)
4) New DOT-4 Brake fluids

And as a matter of course a set of 4 Yoko ES100 235/40/18.

Is there a wheel fitment issue with CLS OEM wheels and the Rotora Big Brake kit? In other words, do I need to get new wheels?
