What are peoples opinions on running balance beads with airlocks?

I have ansen sprint style wheels, 5 35 inch kevlar mtrs, and 5 inner airlocks that I am looking to mount up.
 
I had them in my old 42's because no one would spin balance them, but i would not do it again. Not that they didnt work to help balance (they flatspotted terribly)but alot of the beads eventually embedded themselves into the inner tube under the liner and i did have to change the tubes when i changed tires.
 
You should definitely try to contact one of the manufacturer to see what they say. I would the would be compatible with in bead locks, but :dunno:
