The rings are attached with bolts that thread into the rim.

You remove the bolts that are already in the wheel and then put the ring on, and then use the new supplied bolts to lock the ring on.

They prevent rock damage to the rims/ valve stems.

I like the look of beadlocks ( real or fake ). I didn't think these had any real Beadlocking capabilities. Protection of the valve stems are important and the rings look good too. I guess thats why some companies call them rock rings instead of beadlock rings.

No they aren't for show, instead of damaging your rims you damage the rock rings. Rock rings are a lot cheaper to replace than a new rim.
