Those wheels came on many other Mopars in 1969 - not just M-code cars & Hemi cars. No Man With A Good Car Needs To Be Justified

Apparently 15s were optional, but I never saw any on the lots when the cars were new. My only salesman's Ordering Guide is '68 - with no 15" wheel option shown for B-bodies - but I was told it was a legit option in '69. Oddly, I recall seeing the old circa-1955 hubcaps on a cop car or two back then, which shouldn't fit, but I suppose the wheels were swapped.
