They have static and dynamic balancing. The weight on the outside is meant to balance the tire properly. Although it is not visibly appealing, hanging the weight to the outermost aspect of the wheel allows for a more even balance than placing it inside the wheel due to the rotational force of an unbalanced tire. I have heard of the way you describe being the best for balancing heavier tires but not a very clean look. It also depends on the type of weights they use. I have seen some nice clean look and some really crappy stuff. But don't take my word. I'm no freakin' scientist, just what I have read online and heard from a couple of shops. Could be just opinions as well.??!!!
