you havent weighed the wheels and tyres separetly by any chance have you??
THat is a lot more weight than i really want to add honestly... My alloy spi and badland tyres weigh 310grams per corner... i wouldnt mind going to 450grams per corner with the added power... but 560g!!!!!! nearly double!!! it does look like your truck has no prob pushing the heavy tyres around, but i will really have to think about it... may ask around and see if there are any other normal wheels...
Have you just used the beadlocks to lock the tyre to the wheel??? i was thinking that brushless power would be too much for beadlocks and you would need to glue as well as use the beadlocks to hold the tyre on??? have you had any probs?

No glue, just the beadlocks - and no problems. We'll see how well they hold up to people running the MMXL/2028 combo, but I've read of no complaints. I'm not sure that the fact that they are beadlocks really adds that much weight to them - they are just very beefy all around. When I had them apart to tape them last summer I should have weighed them, but didn't.
