Default Bigger rotors?

I don't know a lot about bigger brake kits but is it possible to get slightly bigger cross drilled rotors with stock calipers? I want to get rims soon and i think stock tiny rotors look horrible on bigger wheels without a big brake kit, but i just want to get the rotors for now.
So just want to know if its possible.

Oh sorry i thought you were just one of those guys that says one word and doesnt give any other information
Does powerslot sell drilled and slotted rotors? Any other companies sell rotors kits like powerslot?

i personally dont think so.. but yea.. just get slotted, if drilled as well you run a higher risk of warp/cracking.. its just me cuz i prefer performance over looks..

contact brembo, im pretty sure you can custom zinc coated rotors without upgrading calipers... just make calls and im pretty sure you're bound to find one that will make one and fit, i've seen willwoods, rotoras, and vise versa on stock wheels...

Yeah im also looking not to spend 500 bucks on custom rotors though lol Then i would just get a whole kit.
Is there a certain diameter rotor or something that it has to be to kit the stock caliper?
Cuse if i knew what size i would have to do i can search around a little easier

the only one/two "bigger" rotors i've seen fit stock wheels with kit is the powerslot ( size already figured to fit stock wheel) and a baller slot pattern on a rotora/wilwood rotor if you want a cool lookin slot pattern... google/search it..

Thats the plan just wanted some info so i could make a thorough search
Thanks for the help

Oh and i should just stick with the same dimensions as the powerslot rotors to ensure a good fitment right

Why would you even want larger rotors than what Powerslot sells? Bigger doesn't always mean better.

Oh, ok. It was late and I guess I misinterpreted what he wants. Well anyway, PowerSlot is the only good option for aftermarket rotors without a big brake kit.

You could just buy my PowerSlot Plus Rears + Agency Power SS Lines + Axxis Ultimate Pads

The outer rim where the slots are are silver now...its black in that picture because it was before I bedded the brakes in.
