Wheel Balancing Weights?

So, I'm new to custom wheels, and when the time comes to finally buy some tires for my 20s, what kind of weight options do I have for the wheels? I know for sure that there is no way in hell that I want to use the clip on weights that screw up the factory rims. I found something called Dyna Beads, would those work? Has anybody tried them?

I have tried powder weights, that go inside the tire and it didn't work well.

Most wheel shops will just use stick on wheel weights that go on the inside of the rims as needed.

Check out the DynaBeads... They're ceramic.

I'm kinda interested in these. The stick on's are choice #2, but being 20s and having large holes in the wheels (M/T Classic IIs), they'd be easily visible and I'm not a big fan of that...

i wouldn't personally do it, they work well on big trucks, semis and whatnot, but i have not heard a lot of good using these kind of balancing agents. i have had 2 sets of 20x10 and our roads absolutely suck and i never had an issue. on that matter, i have had 20+ wheels combos and never had any issues using stick on wheel weights.

nobody's really going to be looking in between the spokes at your wheel weights. granted, i'm only running 17's, but still...
