Default Appearance setup or drag look?

I'm looking at two different setups to go with on my '97 z28 but I'm so stumped. I've always wanted to add a small body kit, lowering springs, nice wheels, interior upholstery and lots of others to make my car look absolutely stunning. Here recently, I've been wanting to go the drag look: Slightly higher suspension, no body kit, Wider tires, and build up an LT1. With the appearance setup, I wanna use Weld RTS wheels. With the drag setup, I wanna use Weld Pro Stars. I absolutely love both. What do I do????

Do what you want the most otherwise you will quickly regret it.

Not that hard to achieve both at the same time. Just put your mind to work.

I agree with crimson bird, its not hard to have a very good looking drag car, and there are quit a few on here. With either set up I would still use RTS wheels they just look a lot more modern than pro stars.

As stated above. Just give it a little time and choose once. You don't want to spend money twice so do it once, do it right. You'll figure it out on which route you wanna take

get some weld RTS 17" wheels. Still Lite and look killer. Proven you cut Hella 60' on 17 drag radials and still have a more sleeper look, rather than running 15s. Like stated above, take your Time!! Firebirdmuscle can attest to the indecisiveness I gone through with the same dilemma over the past couple years. Had TT2s which looked mean but heavy, bought New 17" street lites (lite, sexy, and ran great #s). got the damn "drag" bug, sold those bought some New Race Star Dark Stars 15s. Sold those before I even finished the car, simply because I just didnt like the look of the 15s. Sold those and went back to some 18" C6 replicas. Miss the crap out of my street lites!!!! regret Ever selling them. If you like to drive your car more than drag racing, then lean towards the appearance..... but very easy to find a middle ground in today's market.
