brakes feel weak on 05 300c???

I just slappedon some 22inch wheels and 265/35/22 tires on my 300c, the stock brakes feel very weak and dont seem to be able to support the weight of the wheels and tires, what brakes would you guys recommend???

Well the brakes dont support any weight at all. Changing the wheels wouldnt change how the brakes operated. But you want to change the rotors,pads or calipers? Dave Zeckhausen
Owner, Zeckhausen Racing has nice stuff.

Yes changing rims and tires does change how the car brakes. Wheels and tires are rotational mass, the more mass rotating the more it takes to stop them. A 22" rim is generally more heavy than an 18" rim (there are some exotic exceptions, but the general rule is, bigger rim = more weight).
