Bead Locking Rims?
After one of my rims was severely dented I headed to the local junkyard. Hoping to find a single replacement, put it on and drive away. The only rims I could find that were my color were secured with locking lug nuts. I did however notice one car with stock trans am rims, but they were painted white. Reluctantly I purchased them, but I got a good deal. $130 for all four, and they had decent tread. Once I got them home I realized the rears were bigger than the front rims, and the rears had allen head bolts all the way around the outer rim. On the inside of the rim it is also stamped rear only. The rear rims are deeper than the front rims too.
So I was wondering are these bead locking rear rims, and do I have anything special here?

Now that I look at it, they might just be cosmetic.
