balancing alloy wheels

NE1 know the correct method of balancing alloy wheels? Is it necessary to apply the weights on a particular side of the wheel? Are stick-on weights as good as clipped ones? Obviously I would prefer to have stick-ns applied to the underside of the actual wheel rim, but to be correctly balanced should weights be on the inside / outside edge? Would like to know the best method in order to choose a "garage" that will do it right, some say one thing.... others say another. TYIA.

Stick em on the machine, and apply weights as necessary.

Yes, if that's where the "lightness" is.

Yes, providing they're stuck on properly.

Er, depends where they need to go ! They will usually be "behind" the spokes though, so you can't see em from the outside.

Any garage that uses stick-on weights will be fine. Just make it clear you don't want clip-ons.
