Default 2000 ws6 when driving brake pedal got as hard as a brick

All o f sudden my 00 ws6 6speed manual the brake pedal got real hard and it didnt wanted to stop.i almost hit the car in front of me. All my way home a had to push real hard on the brake pedal and sometimes pull the emergency brake to stop it...
What could of went wrong .... and what can i do to test everything before i star buying things that i dont need..
Rotors are good .pads are good. Just recently put some 17 torque thrust wheels on it....i drive it one time a week...wat went wrong????

Did you check your brake fluid?

Fluid, master, distribution box, lines, pads, rotors, CHECK THEM ALL. Obviously something is impacting the brakes performance. I never check one or two things with brakes, I always check all of them above. You can never been too safe with your brakes.
