They are rivet nuts. If you haven't heard of them, they are used for most applications where strong threads are required for blind applications. They are installed using a spin technique and tooling. Rivet Nuts provide an internal thread into thin sheet material and at the same time they can also function as a blind fastener to join two materials together.
A homemade tool for "setting" them can be found here.

I am thinking they would make a slick way for attaching rod holders :lol:
