Actually, they are rectangular, but YES, that is correct.

They also do not have the "nubs" on the inner ring, the non-rally wheels have them to help sucure the hubcaps.

If you mean "can I drill holes in the plain steel wheel?" then no. Unless you are well versed in finite element analysis, I wouldn't recommend it. The wheels would fail, possibly catastrophically.
