You might be right about the color....being overloaded...

The spacers I cut from plastic are not a true beadlock......just a way of keeping the tire in contact with the rim...originally I had hoped the tires alone would be enough to carry the load without the air filled tubes but the side walls are too thin....so being that I will only have tubes on the inside tires on the rear duals I needed to make the outside tires look the same somehow (the air filled tires are taller)....and the racquetballs seem to be a way to solve the problem....hope this makes sense......
