If you want to go with that very stock hubcap whitewall look I suggest you stick with a GTO spec 3/8" white rather than the 5/8" or 3/4" whitewall seen on other less sporting Pontiacs in 68. See first pic of a GTO being delivered to its first owner)
The GTO had white walls as a no cost option but they were the same 3/8" like the standard redlines.
Another option instead of the deluxe hubcap would be the custom which had a bunch of round holes. They more fully covered the wheel as compared to the deluxe cap and had a futuristic look that went well with the very modern look of the 68 GTO. (Second pic, center caps were originally bright red).
