Im sure thats correct. A friend of mine has a stock pile of NOS steel wheels. And before he starts liquidating. I want to go thru and make sure none are the wheels I need. Some in the pile have OE part numer tags/labels. Most do not . And Im pretty sure they are a 14x5.5 inch and would take the large center cap ( my car uses the full wheel cover )
I have some 14x6 wheels I got cheap I would use if I ever decided to put it back to outward stock appearance (not likely ) and wasnt really looking for the correct rim. BUT,,,,,,,, if he happens to have them ( with my luck not likely ) BUT,,,,just in case he does. I want them

I’ll take a picture of original rims from my 66 Hemi car tomorrow. Painted silver just like car. The little holes were a hold over from when there was a small stud to line up wheel using studs that screwed into axel instead of a lug nut.

The stock 66 14” wheel will accept the small dog dish hubcap later won’t, also no 15” was made for that cap. I may not be following you , but the 66 wheels use the larger 67-back style dog dish cap. 1968 was the first year for the smaller diameter caps. Matt

New centers that use the bigger cap are made for 15” rims plus they’ll do the whole wheel too.

AFAIK the 1966 HEMI wheel is 14x5.5" wide it has the 10-hole bolt pattern center it is the same wheel that was STANDARD on every '66 Charger because of the STANDARD "deep dish" wheel cover w/spinner
a BROADCAST SHEET shows "14" for the wheel designation ---- the '66 Parts Catalog shows part # 2534 702 Dan, Would a 1966 C body use the same 5.5inch rim ????

Im not sure I would pay up to get a set. As I have a set of clean 14x6 later rims I plan to use But just in case what is a fair price for a set of these wheels A buddy of mine just bought these. They are only 14x5 inch. But for the price was hard to resist . Tires are supposed to be decent as well I may end up with them anyway . https://www.ebay.com/itm/225996285755
