Default Real beadlocks or fakes?

I love the way these rims look, can anybody tell me who makes them?

Do you think they are functional or "street" (ie fake) locks?
Thanks!

Default ProComp 8179 with Fake Beadlock Rings

I think I figured out what they are...

Procomp Series 8179 wheels with simulated beadlock rings.

Rings here: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=10140

Wheels here: http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Series-8179-Gloss-Black.aspx?t_c=11&t_s=210&t_pt=100073&t_pl=5427

Even though Procomp says the rings will only fit Series 1079 and Series 6079 wheels, it appears they also fit 8179. Someone in another thread mentioned this as well.

I think they look good, and would help protect the rims.
