If you don't have a big budget, then you'll have some challenges on getting the look you want. The other problem is that the FD generally likes high offsets in wheels which means smaller lips on the wheels.

The easiest way to get a deep dish look without spending a ton of money is to find a wheel that bows the spokes back. This will give you a deep dish look without having to get some 'not so friendly' offsets.

I had similar requirements and ended up with something like this for a street only wheel:
