Default LS1 v Aftermarket brakes

Ok guys I need some input on LS1 v Aftermarket brakes on my 70 chevelle, I have read several articles on converting over to LS stuff. I can see one advantage to the LS stuff, for starters if something breaks on the road you can go to just about any auto parts to buy replacement parts. But you don't have the show appearance of the aftermarket brakes. But if I go with LS stuff I will have to switch from my 15" wheels (which I really want to keep) to 17's or 18's. If I go with say wilwood 12.19 brakes I can keep the 15's. So I thought I would make a post for input, I'm trying to make up my mind as to which way to go. I know the LS route would be more economical as far as brakes go but the money I save there will not even cover a 1/4 of the expense of the wheels and tires to upgrade. Anyways thanks for any help in advance.

Howard
