Balancing a wheel is the balancing of its centrifugal forces using weights, not the shape and roundness of the wheel, which is what is in contact with the ground (albeit with a lump of rubber wrapped around it).

Imagine an egg that has been 'balanced' using weights. Roll that egg along a flat surface.... get the picture? Its exactly the same, as it was exactly the same for my skyline which I too had the wheels balanced time and again....until I got to the specialist!
