You need the wheels to be balanced but some wheels are more difficult for sure. It is a pain and requires extra time but there are a few methods you might consider. Stick on or glue backed weights can be placed on the inner surfaces of the wheel and then remount the tire on your wheel. You must wrap the inner circumference with a good tape (use fiberglass packing tape) to secure these weights as insurance. Any good shop will know how to properly install these weights. This all takes extra time and you can no longer see if a weight comes loose but it is one way to skin the cat.
