I didn't want weights at all on my chrome rims, don't like the looks of even the chrome ones and its much easier to clean the rims without going around wheel weights.

Ask the bead manufacture if the beads Balance the tire and wheel assembly. They will side step the question. Yes, there is a good chance that adding the beads will make the ride feel smoother, but having an assembly that has minimal runout and is properly balanced is still a better option. Don
