Maybe steel rims aren't all the same but our spare rim is like the one in the photo, which is an etrailer.com wheel and I *think* the majority these days are like that. Possibly a bit hard to see in the photo but the area that mates up against the drum is flat steel with holes drilled or punched in it for the bolts with no taper to the holes.
The one in your photo is what you'd typically see on an automotive steel wheel, except that steel wheels on cars isn't that popular now.

One difference is that the bolt holes in steel wheels do not have a chamfered shoulder to match conical shaped bolts (as they ought to), but alloy wheels do however, you don't hear about steel wheels falling off as a result.

Trailer wheel are usually lug-centric, and do have lug seats to match the conical nuts.
