Wheel query

So, who knows about wheels and can answer a query for me?

I have style 294 wheels and recently had all 4 wheels off just to give them a decent clean. They were refurbished about 2 years ago.

When they were off, I noticed each wheel had, what looks like, center punch marks at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. Marks from a frame to hold them during refurb or is it something like they've been straightened?
 
It's not from straightening. You would see many more marks than that! Wheel straightening is a rather aggressive affair.

Probably the holding pin marks from the refurb machine, or maybe even a tyre machine. Could even have been from the moulding when they were made.

I have noticed these on one of my cars (although not in four places). Never been refurbed or straightened but have had the tyres off once to be powder-coated.
