Then those wheels are complete garbage. No way is a wheel that far out of balance and that's 'normal'.
Just for chits and giggles, I just looked at my cars. I've got 2.25 oz TOTAL on TWO cars. To be clear, that's to balance EIGHT wheels. 5 of those wheels have no weight at all. If they were more I'd be investigating a problem. I'll give you that those wheels are 20" and they'll need a 'little' more perhaps, but imho, that's excessive. If they are indeed two piece, that would explain some of it. But in any case, I'd say they were far enough out of round that even if they are balanced, I suspect they'll wear the tires unevenly.
Good luck with em.
