This might be something that others have already been doing for years so apologies if this is old news. After a few times swapping tires onto beadlock wheels, I figured out this time saving move that I thought I would share.
It used to take me quite a bit of time to put anti-seize on each bolt and install them through the ring into the wheel making sure I didn't get the anti-seize on everything.
So here's the move... Install the bolts into the ring and place something over the ring to hold the bolts in place. I had a leftover piece of plexiglass, but you could use anything ridged (cardboard, wood etc). The you can move the ring around with the bolts in it, apply anti-seize and fit all the bolts at once to the wheel.
Hope this is useful to someone out there.
