Default Best way to balance chrome wheels?

What is the best way to balance chrome wheels, stick on or hammer on, or is there another way to balance them it besides these two ways?

the stick on type should be fine, but to promote adhesion you should give the wheels a nice coat of black paint or powder coat

do you have experience with that working? sounds like a terrible idea.

when mounted in the traditional way the stick on weights are pushed into the rim harder as speed increases. with it mounted in the tire, the forces from the spinning wheel will work to pull the weight off. i don't know if it would be enough force to tear the tape or break the bond, and i do not care to check the numbers, but it just seems like it would never work.
