Those are Pro Comp's either the 1079's or 6079's with the bead lock ring added to them. It's just for show, not functional.

It is not even an ok deal. The wheels set up with the rings are between $200 and $225 ea. I cant imagine the 35's tires are more than $250 to $300 ea new. So you got a price range for new stuff between $2250 and $2625. I would offer $1500, that would be a good deal. Good luck.
