There's several options to balancing. Pound on lead weights, stick on lead weights, automatic wheel balancers, beads, etc.

why dont you put the regular wheel weights on but just use black ones that you couldnt see unless you stick your nose against your rim?

Have them do a static balance. That's what I do on my truck. Or use stick on weights. Usually I used regular weights on the inside and stick on weights on the inside of the wheel also but near the edge on the inside. The inward edge. I do not like weights on the outside of the wheels at all.

They put the weights on the inside facing part or the rim. Its fine to do that but I have heard not the "best". I would do though if I ever got rims. I think my stang is set up that way I'm not sure
