Default Wheel balance question

Let's say you've got a wheel that's out of balance. I've heard an easy way to diagnose whether it's a front or rear wheel and just wondering if it's true.

If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel then the out-of-balance wheel has got to be one of the fronts. If you don't feel it in the steering wheel, but in your actual seat, then it would be one of the rears.

Does this hold any truth?

Unfortunately, not always.

Why not just bust 'em off & have 'em balanced? Most shops charge around $5.00 per wheel if you bring them in.
