I think it's because Chrysler offered wires as a factory option for several years, while most GM makes did not. Buick was an exception; but I think Buick offered them only in 1953 to 1955 (standard equipment on 1953 and 1954 Skylarks). However, aftermarket wire wheels that closely duplicate the factory originals are widely available today and are a tempting dress-up accessory for restorers of vintage cars that could have been equipped with them when new. As you correctly observed, most cars were not originally equipped with wire wheels when new - they were an expensive option - but many add them now when doing a restoration.
