if you get bigger heavier rims, you will notice that your breaks dont work as well as they did before. Gettin bigger breaks would help but its not a must

better brakes can never hurt...and bigger ones only can if they dont fit under your wheels, forcing you to get bigger wheels.

if you upgrade to huge brakes first, then that gives you an excuse to get new rims.
