How much weight is normal to balance new 20" wheels?

Just had some new Vredesteins mounted on OEM 214's today. Tirerack recommended the install shop with good feedback, Hunter balancing gear, etc and the crew was great and let me observe the entire process. One wheel required over 7 ounces of weight to balance - the others needed about 2 oz. The machine showed no visible wobble and the computer did not recommend remounting/error, etc.

My question: is 7 oz of balancing weights (strip adhesive weights on inside of rim of course) unusual? The 20" 214 and tire is quite heavy...

Thanks
