Default Bassett Beadlocks

Im looking at getting new wheels and tires in a few months (hopefully) and my question is can beadlocks be effectivly balanced? Would I have to use beads and are beads practical? Or should I take them to my local tire shop and have them stick on 5#'s of weight on each wheel? I know they are not street leagl in my area but I mainly drive my jeep to the trails and back so Im willing to risk it. I found these on Jegs and was wondering if anybody has run them. Also I currently have 08 rubi wheels so 5x5 isnt an issue. Thanks.

They can be balanced, its easier if your good at putting the tire on the wheel properly. Bbs are an option i use them in my wheels right now

As far as centered on the wheel or what? Ive never had a two piece wheel before.

Sure, you can balance them.

I actually prefer the beads tho.
