StopTech makes a very nice two-piece 328x28 kit. A lot of guys run it here. You have aftermarket wheels, so you might needs spacers. They fit fine on my stock "fat fives", might even fit the 6 spoke ones. Stratmosphere has them for $2K, but they have a 15% discount these days that might apply. I got mine with the Axxis Deluxe pads.

Brembo makes 2 GT kits. 323x28, one-piece, aka junior, and 328x28 two-piece. APR, AWE and PureMS have them. I got one yesterday from PureMS for $1495. The 328 kit sells for $2750, ouch. APR has it for $2,612 but still hard to justify over the stop techs.
The Brembo GT Junior kit should clear both OEM wheels.

Are you running carbon brake pads yet, with fresh brake fluid. I used to be a big brake kit fan till I found high temp pads and starting replacing my brake fluid once a year.

I got a Brembo kit last year (two piece rotor w/ lateral and radial compliance) for tire rack for ~$2,600. The work wonderfully for street/track. My driving style is doodle-around on the street and do several track weekends per year. I had trouble finding "street" pads that fit. For track I use Pagid Orange 4-4 and have a set of Hawk Blue to try too.
PS - the pads that come with the kit are junk. They went up in a poof of dust at one day that the track; I won't buy brembo pads EVER.
Changing the brembo pads is pure joy. I have a punch and a hammer, punch out two pins and you can pull them out, then push the pistons back with your fingers, drop in new pads, pop in two pins. Heavenly...
They also held up well in Michigan salty winter (except for brake line nut at caliper which got a bit crusty).
Research what replacement rotor and pads cost before you jump!
