How many normal beadlocked wheels have you seen loose an inner bead (which is where safety bead is located on a normal wheel)? I've haven't seen very many. Now on a reversed shell wheel (safety bead is now on the outside) that is beadlocked, you have the non safety bead side of the wheel on the inside. You'd be loosing inner beads left & right if you ran them at beadlocked pressure.
Im just saying my opinion on the matter.
I have lost inner, outer , and both beads at once.
And that is what convinced me to get some locks. Last snow season i lost 8 beads in one day or something ridiculous like that.
I have not lost one bead on my beadlocks yet, but they are not reversed.
I have seen buddys with 2.5" bs wheels loose only the outer bead, then later in the day loose both.
They weren't necessarly running beadlock pressures, but regardless, they did loose beads.
I was thinking of doing that plus maybe welding a bead around the inner lip, or gluing it on as well as the outer lock.
At least that bead was lost on dry ground.. This sucks when it happens..
