stock rotor size

I'm working from a failing memory, but I notice nobody else has responded. I think it's 11" front, 10" rear. I notice your sig indicates 18" wheels. I think the rotors look lost inside the 17" wheels.
Are you thinking replacement?

I own a coupe and I am looking for a replacement system. I just got new wheels and the design leaves the brake system wide open and easily noticable. Looks outright ugly with the stock setup. However I am trying to go a different route than Brembo because I am not looking to spend 2k+ for brakes when I would only be using them for visual apperance rather than performance. Any ideas on a company that might fit that criteria? Maybe just a replacement of the rotors(slotted/cross drilled)?

Stock is 11.8"vented rotors in front and 11.4" in back. If you get larger rotors you need to change the calipers too, they are designed to work as a set.
