Isn't the use case for beadlock wheels to prevent the bead from dislodging in situations when the sidewall is being pressed against, like up against a rock? Which is why the beadlock is on the outside?I have seen wheels spin inside the tire when wheeling with very low air pressure. Much depends on the tire, some tires are just harder to unseat and grip the wheel better. Mud and rock grit can get into the bead, between the rim and tire and cause small leaks, which is much harder to do with a beadlock. Still, this is a pretty cool idea and would work well in most situations. I'd want to carry a bag of spare O rings for the bolts, just in case. I could go down the DOT rabbit hole, but.......
