    The area that is sometimes stamped is on the outside flat area where a tube would go up against. It is marked upon occasion 'Motor Wheel Corporation' - not much help. The thing that may help you are the design of the smaller wheel cover retaining clips. Nash, Kaiser and Hudson all shared the same clips. Providing the are the same diameter and width, they will all interchange as well..

    So where would a guy go to find new hubcap clips for the stepdown? I found a great wheel with 5 broken clips.

    I was told one of my stepdown rims was a 1940's Chrysler rim with a safety step built into it to keep the bead in place during a blowout.
    My Hudson rim has no step and is smooth which allows the use of a beauty ring.
    Both rims were made by the 'Motor Wheel Corporation'
    Any thoughts on this

    Each auto manufacturer had their own specs that Motor Wheel was more than happy to comply with - for a price!
