He weight is a con as well. They will make the wheel a fair amount heavier. If this is a moderately powered car that alone may slow it down a fair bit. If it is a big power car you may fine little difference.

Keep in mind the inner diameter of the DBL rim in comparison to your drums or brake caliper.

I wouldn't do it if I was you. There aren't many pro's. As Al said they are heavy. You need to recheck the torque on the bolts. Beadlock tires can be a lot heavier too. You are just caught up in the moment. Take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning. The money is best spent on something else.

You are just caught up in the moment. Take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning. The money is best spent on something else. They are not that much heavier. No you do NOT have to constantly check the torque on the bolts and there is no such thing as a bead lock specific tire

The tire itself is not a special designed tire for beadlocks, but that size it is required because beadlocks anchor the tire better then any rim screw or high tack.
As for your bolts coming loose, what brand beadlocks do you have? Some are better then others.

I have double bead locks with drums, had to machine a little off the ridge on the drum to clear the inner bead lock. My car is slow but my wheels look better than yours. Weight wise if you compare apples to apples [ same rim with and without ] yes the bead locks are heavier. Thats the only way you can compare . Different manufacturer, different style all weigh different . Mount / dismount your own tires, it's fairly easy.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
