Inside mounted weights will provide static balance. Weights properly located
on inside and outside of wheel will provide two plane dynamic balance.

Sometimes a static, single plane balance wil work. Remember when service
stations used the balance cone and bubble level to balance tires? Remember
when the opertaor laid balance weights on the wheel, moving them around
until the bubble centered? Remember that the operator would split the weight
total 1/2 to the front and 1/2 to the inside bead? This procedure was an
acknowledgement of the need to not balance in one plane only.

I have an antique Snap On balancer that locates balance weights in two
locations at 120 degrees right and left around the wheel  This procedure
splits the weight equally front to rear and requires more weight than if
only one location 180 degrees was used. This setup would then provide a
quasi dynamic balance. I have used it and it does work but you end up with a
lot of lead on the wheel.

A lot of specialty wheels are single plane balanced to keep weights off the
pretty wheels. This can work but sometimes it won't so just be aware, that's
all.
