Mopar's blurb about factory beadlocks says that they clamp the outside bead to the rim. What holds the inside bead?

Inside bead, which is the brake rotor side, is held by air pressure.

Outside bead, which is the side you see when you walk up to the JT, is held by the bead lock ring in a mechanical joint.

It's just held by air like kevman65 said.

They're called double beadlocks if there is also a beadlock on the inside bead.
