The wheel is reaally heavy, and as there is no proper separation between the load compartment and the cabin, in case of frontal accident the wheel may fly into the cabin producing massive damage to the passangers. The same applies in case of rear accident, where the wheel may be pushed into the cabin, potentially breaking the rear seat backrests and whoever is sitting there.

I personally think the gain is not worth the trouble.
Makes sense. Go RFT !
