Default 390 big block wheels

does anybody know what are the original wheels to go with the 1968 390
big blocks? I have a project car that I'm working on and I'm having
trouble finding the correct wheels. Thanks

There are no wheels specific to big block cars. The standard wheel
would be a 14x5.5" steel if your car didn't have the GT package.

If you are going resto-origional, in my opionion, the best way is to do
a Marti report in the vin and use that with any origional documentation
from the car's history, for your parts search. But that depends on the
cars value to you or to the market. The reports are alittle pricy but
very respected.
