Can't really go wrong with the old school look, IMO.

Re: New to the driveway
I'd stick with either SRT8 style wheels or if you wanted to go the classic route with some torque-thrust style wheels, check out the ones that the Challenger R/T with the Classic edition appearance package came with. They're 20" and have a nice blend of old and new that would fit the car well. They're similar to the 18" Bullitts I have on my Mustang in my siggy.

Re: New to the driveway
I've looked at quite a few sets of the stock Mopar wheels. There is a good selection of them to be had, both on the forums and eBay, and while I'm sure the asking price is better than you'd pay from Mopar Parts, they're still quite a bit more expensive than a lot of the aftermarket wheels. (especially anything in chrome finish)
I guess the other factor is that I prefer a wheel with a dish design as opposed to a flat face spoke, and if I'm going to spend close to $1k for a set of wheels, I don't want them to look stock. IMO, wheels are the single mod that changes the look of a car the most, so this is certainly where you want bang for your buck. If you dig the stock option look, that's cool, but I think I prefer a little more flash.
The wheels on the Ghosthawk in my sig are a prime example. Not too much bling, not crazy sized, a nice lip, and decidedly not stock. A bit of the Trans Am honeycomb flavor that went with the theme of the car.
