You can see here that those five stamped rectangular areas just outboard of the five round stud holes are LESS-pronounced, or not stamped as deeply. You'll also notice that these wheels with the five shallow-stamped rectangles have a RAISED ridge around each mounting stud hole, where-as the Mercs and '40-'41 Ford wheels don't have the raised ridge or surface.

No, I fully understand I plan on running mine without the caps because I like the rectangles around the lug nuts that much. I do see how the Merc ones are a slight deeper and do not have the raised ridges. Do the later truck 5" wide wheels have the deeper rectangles or the not so deep?
