Nope, never been in that store, I guess they all look the same, lol. 7+ years with them, mostly in Freehold, but spent varying amounts of time in West Orange, Oakhurst, Ocean (now closed), Hazlet, Point Pleasant, Bordentown, Hightstown (the old one on 33), East Windsor, Hamilton, Jackson, Monmouth Junction.
I had to look at their store list online to remember them all.

GTA rims would sharpen it up for low $$. I like 3rd gens 
Is that a black 4th gen on the other lift?

GTA rims are 16s....you should be able to do 255/50/16s in the back, with 245/50/16 in the front.
I suggest those as they are relatively inexpensive. Black ones would look good, but you can paint the mesh part any color you'd like. that gray steve painted his jeep wheels would be sweet. clean & prep real well yourself and some rattle can and you're good to go.

Even a 16" Formula Turbine wheel would work well with the car. I'm a huge fan of GTA Cross Lace wheels on 3rd gen birds in gold & black which both would work well with that color. Or if you had a little extra coin to spend, a pair of silver painted 17x9 ZR1's would look spectacular.

Looks good, where did you have it painted?
I had a lot of compliments on my car when I had Cragar S/S wheels. This is the only pic I could find of it with them on.

I actually got this done at maaco cuz i got connections with head guy at that shop so he took care of me...its not a perfect job but for the price i got im still doing back flips. 
I wanted metallic red because the original fire engine red was just tired so i wanted something different...and with the silver flake in the paint, the color will go from orange to dark red all day 
i was thinking along the lines of aftermarket as far the wheels go. Im looking at some A.R. rims but i dont know if i wanna go black or chrome...leaning more towards the black
although i do have ugly rear drums which need to be converted to disk so i dont wanna be too too revealing

Paint looks good!
For the rims, I'd say black chrome the centers and polish the lips on a set of the WS6 laced rims that Justin posted.
