so what is the best balancing method

tmm, no, I haven't done that. up until now I didn't know the tires was out until I pulled the wheels off and one of the sticky weights fell on the floor and another was completely missing on the rear and found more missing on the front wheels. I just had them balanced last fall and have not put many miles on them. that's what has me concerned about getting them balanced right and the purpose of this thread.

If the wheels have no lip they must be static balanced with tape weights. The shop should use quality tape weights, buff the wheel to clean it and even use alcohol, thinner, or the like to clean and prep the wheel so the weights will stick. And with all those precautions, the tape weights still may not stick after a year of weather conditions and heat cycles. Duct tape will help but it won't last forever.
