MOTOR WHEEL CORP. (headquartered in Lansing, MI & purchased by Goodyear in the early '70s) built most of the wheels used by Chrysler Corp. (GM & FoMoCo also) during the musclecar era. All "ROAD", "RALLYE", "H" wheels are MOTOR WHEEL CORP.
"Recall Wheels", space saver, and some others were Kelsey-Hayes.
K-H started building a lot of the wheels for Chrysler starting in 1970 from what I've seen. The big-H wheels had build dates anywhere from 1968-1972. All the big-H wheels were built by Motor Wheel. As far as what would be the correct steelies for this 1968 Coronet, they would be 14x5.5" unless the car is a hemi. If it's a hemi & had steelies, they would be 15x6". Here's a '68 hemi wheel: http://www.classicchambered.com/rims/hemi.jpg . Here's a 68-9 14x5.5" steelie: http://www.classicchambered.com/rims/14X55.jpg . Both of these are pretty unique because of the unusual "bumps" in-between the lug holes.
