Yes, I would have to say that this is probably their biggest negative point.  
Most people want to be SEEN with beadlocks, whether they will admit it or 
not.  The only way to notice the Tireloc system is that second valve stem...

Well, they ARE on a trail only suburban with 44" boggers  rear, cut 44" 
Ground Hogs front, so balancing is not really the number one concern ;-)
I will talk to him in the next day or so and find out if he had any problems 
with balancing...
