Having trouble deciding on brakes

So looking for input/suggestions/comments. I'm having trouble deciding between the brembo's and the g37 sport brakes. Either way I'm going to have to buy new wheels (have the stock 17's right now and I don't believe even the brembos will fit in them).

I know that brackets will be needed for the g37s ones.

I figure both are about the same price brand new so I'm stuck.

no, the Brembos will cost near double the G37 system

OEM Brembos is what I'm talking about, which near as I can tell from this site would cost equal or less than g37S brakes

It's not just the calipers you need

Yes, I know this... my question here is not what parts I'm missing or anything like that but which people would go for.

looks: G37 brakes
performance: OEM brembos.
For me personally would be OEM brembos without a doubt.

I would either get the Brembos or just go for one of the Stoptech kits, since they are tested to retain factory brake bias. Who knows what the impact on brake bias will be from the G37S set?

I'm leaning towards the brembos - i'd just go with one of those stoptech kits but for some reason my rear calipers rusted over (i have less than 30k on my car) so using that as a reason to upgrade

The G37 rotor is reported at weighing 26lbs. IMHO, I'd go oem brembo and opt for the 2 pc aftermarket rotors that are available.

alright, so i believe I'm gonna go with the brembo's... min wheel size is going to be 18's (stock coupe wheels?) or are they able to squeeze into the 17's?
