Anyone familiar with or used these beads? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is a year and a half after your original post but I thought I would ask you if you ever went ahead and tried this on your 8 lug wheel/tire assemblies? I ran across the site for Dyna Beads today and was reading up on the concept and I immediately thought of its potential use on 8 lugs. Thanks for any input!
