Does this come with the simulated bead lock ring and the bolts for the ring?
Yes, the Mopar Jeep Wrangler Wheel-cast Aluminum 77072466AB comes out of the box with a standard trim ring (often referred to as a simulated/beauty ring) along with the necessary mounting bolts to secure it for street use.
True Beadlock Capability: This ring is designed for standard street driving or cosmetic style. If you want to use the wheel as a true functional beadlock for off-roading, you must purchase a separate functional lock ring kit (such as Mopar Part # 77072586AA) and appropriate hardware separately.

You have these listed as "Simulated Bead Lock Wheels" but Mopar has them listed as "Beadlock-capable Wheels". Are these wheels Beadlock capable or is this something different?
Yes, these wheels are true beadlock-capable wheels, meaning they are much more than just a standard street wheel with a cosmetic simulated ring.
Here is how the design works and why the naming can be a bit confusing:
1. Dual Bead Seats (Beadlock-Capable)
The Mopar 77072466AB Wheel is engineered with two distinct mounting surfaces (dual bead seats):
Street-Legal Mounting (DOT-Compliant): Out of the box, the tire’s outer bead mounts on the standard, inner bead seat. This is fully DOT-compliant for everyday highway driving.
True Beadlock Mounting: When you want to run a true beadlock for off-roading, you move the outer tire bead to the outer lip of the wheel.
2. Why They Are Referred to as "Simulated" Out of the Box
The wheel ships from Mopar with a cosmetic, silver beauty ring (or "simulated ring"). This trim ring bolted to the outside mimics the look of a beadlock but does not actually clamp the tire bead to the wheel. Because it is sold and shipped in this street-legal configuration, it is often cataloged by retailers as a "simulated beadlock" wheel.
3. How to Make Them a True Beadlock
To convert these wheels into functional beadlocks, you must purchase and install Mopar's Functional Lock Ring Kit (sold separately). This kit replaces the decorative beauty ring with a thick, heavy-duty functional ring and longer grade-8 hardware that physically clamps the tire's outer bead to the wheel, allowing you to safely run single-digit tire pressures on the trail.
