Motorwheel 14x6.5" - those are rare as hell. Sept. 12th, 1967 - so they came on a 1968 car - small dog dish caps. I've never had a set of them. Here's a decoder:

OK, I had to look this up in my old Hollanders. They are indeed listed: PN 1856773 - '57-59. PN 2122468 - '60-64. PN 2530156 - '65-66. PN 2823780 - '67-68. Chrysler '57-68. DeSoto '57-61. Dodge passenger '63-68. Plymouth '63-68. These are all 5 on 4.5" BP.

I waited to answer, but my original thought was born out, I finally went out to the garage and looked in my 68 parts book ... 68 Chrysler wagon (I think all C wagoons), 14x6.5, #2823 780
I have always been a wide steel wheel sort of guy, and I was always on the look out for the widest factory version for my B cars.
In my area of Vermont, even at 31 63436, 68 C wagons were not common, but I do remember having a set, tho not special enough for me to keep them when selling the car, after all, the look is what attracted me and at least one other person.
It takes gasoline to interest me.

I really have no personal knowledge about the 2122 468 wheels, but for some reason it comes to mind, and the fact that they are list for "drag racing and rally" brings to mind the "mostly" 66 rally efforts by Scott (drawing a blank on the last name), which was a factory backed effort, and with me having a 66 Formula S (this was around 67) of course I felt the kinship!
I do remember looking at some of the things listed in the Direct Connection or was it Hustle stuff? catalog and think there were wider, 5"x4" pattern wheels listed, this would be wider than the factory fit 14", 5.5 wide ones ... but that fast manual steering on the "S", and a chance at another 64 Belvedere made me forget about being a rally driver in short order!
So possibly the 468 wheels were small pattern, but I never ordered them, so this is quite literally 56 year old memory speaking so take it for what it is worth!

I have never seen a set in person until now, but I think a member here might of had one years ago he was inquiring about. i believe that may have been me. someone was interested in that wheel, but when i rigged it up to spin, it was bent. if i remember, it was .075 or so laterally, and .040 something radially. well that took the wind out of the sails, and i think i gave it to someone who needed it to use as just a roller..........
