yes it's an H wheel, later model and it's not a HEMI wheel persay , it's a HEAVY DUTY wheel and it was used on fleet vehicles/police cars AND Hemi cars. I had a set that came off a 69 Polara .

The rim in the picture has a build date of 1977. The H is too small for a Hemi rim. The 69 hemi rim had an H which was about 7/8 of an inch tall, and it would have to have a build date of late 68 or early 69 to have any real value.
