As is usually the case, now that I see what the original wheels look like, my reproduction TT wheels (which I had thought looked pretty good)

Bob, Here is a pic of the back of the Japan wheels, which look like they will work? I have a pic of the front if you are interested.

That is a great looking wheel and you usually can tell the ones from Japan as they had very dep countersinking in the lug hole area....now I am not POSITIVE those will fit the early caliper Bill....the backs of the spokes are cut it looks like but I just don't know for sure...the D was made specifically to work with the early calipers.Have you tried them on the car ???

I believe the Appliance wheels "say" Japan on the back with the deep lug pocket for a washer. So, yeah they're probably the same.

Bob, they look like they will work to me, but we don't know for sure. The person selling them knows that they will work on a 69 Camaro, but says the only way to find out for sure about a 68 is to try them. Also I can only locate 15 x 7's which are fine for the back, but I wanted 6's for the front. They are going on E 7o's in the front and G 60's in the back. But I guess I could run 7's all around, although I am concerned about rubbing on the front.

This may be the auction that Berger mentioned. They are not the wheels that I am chasing, although they sure do look like a nice set. Also the buy it now price is for 4 of the wheels, not 6 as pictured. Nice looking wheels.
