Other than the fact that they have some magnesium in them, they are no more real than a set of Cragers from PepBoys. And, frankly, they don't look all that good. I know nobody wants to come out and say that out loud, with them costing six grand and all, but they really don't look that great. A talented restoration painter could pull that off with little difficulty. Plus, if you wanted them to look like really nice mag wheels, he could do that too.
