Hi Kip, I may be late on this response because of just returning to work after the Chrysler 300 Int. meet in Ohio. What you have is the real deal. Motorwheel did produce the wheels used on these cars. 48 spokes is correct for the Chrysler version. The 52 spoke version was used on Imperial and station wagons.

I recently purchased a white 1955 C300 - has wire wheels, stamped on the inside is "Made in America" - " Motor Wheels". Could these be original option wheels? they are 15x5.5 and 48 spokes. I read somewhere the original manufacturer was "Motor Rim" with 52 spokes. kip....
