If You Have Steel Wheels Please Help Me Out!!!!

I got these wheels,
http://uswheel.com/images/wheelsBIG/daytonaBEAD.jpg
the black ones for my birthday and I am wondering if You guys can help me out deciding if they work on Tacoma's or not. On the back of the wheel, where it mounts onto the truck, where the tapered design w/the cutout D shaped things Meets the Ring where the Lugnuts go through, there is a big lip on the back. The lip is actually the only part that Touches the rotor or brake drum. The lugs and lug plate dont even touch it. Just that seam where the two things meet touches the actual drum. If you know what i'm saying im amazed lol. Im just concerned at this lack of surface area which actually is connecting the wheel to the car. I can take pics later if need be. If you have steel wheels, my heart will go out to you if you can take a pic of the back of it for me so i can see if yours are the same as mine. Thanks so much for your time,
Jamie

Now, now, now there is no need to flame him for what he likes, he is entitled to his opinion and so are you. But just saying that his wheels are "gay" and get the regular rock crawlers, is not even related to his question.

Now to his question, if I remeber right, my stock steelies don't have just a "lip" that contacts the rotor, the whole area around the stud contacts the rotor.
Hope I helped

Something's not right here. I have the plain variety of this US Wheel in 16 X 7 and the rolled lip between the spokes and the center section fits against the hub. It works fine that way. They do have a larger lip around the D shaped holes but it doesn't protrude far enough to touch anything. It's pretty close to the brake caliper but there is clearance.

These are my winter wheels and tires so I already have them off the truck. I'll try to take a picture when I get home tonight...
