Yes that is a correct 68 style wheel...

Do these 14x5.5" Magnums have any numbers or the Crysler symbol on them? I have a set of all chrome Magnums that I am trying to identify. I am not sure If they are Mopar wheels or Ford wheels. They do not have the Ford or Crysler symbol on them. I believe they are 68 wheels, due to the M4 over an 8 I see on the back side. I also have a C with an 8 in it. Does the C stand for Crysler? I have posted a picture of the numbers on the inside of the wheel. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I believe the 14x5.5" "MAGNUM" was only used on Mopars, no other manufacturer used them from the factory. Chrysler factory wheels have a satin spoke & bright "hoop" like shown in the first pic in this thread. Aftermarket (Motor Wheel Corp.) & reproduction "MAGNUM" wheels all have bright spokes & "hoops".

Odd that the last three digits of the '67-'68 c-body wheel are 841

M4/8 = Motor Wheel Corp. - plant 4 - 1968

These are the numbers on the back side. Right now I guess I have 1968 C body wheels that were made by motor wheel. Is the 6 15 on the back the date the wheel were made in 68? I am not a Mopar guy, which models are considered C bodys?

M4/8 6 15 5.5

M4/8 = Motor Wheel Corp. - plant 4 - 1968
6 15 = Saturday, June 15th
5.5 = 5.5" wide

They're 5-1/2", so they'd be B-body (Charger/Coronet/Road Runner) not C (Fury/Polara/300). Are the spokes satin or bright?

I think they are the shinny chrome. Thank you for your help.
