Having mine done next week by Rex at Performance Tire and Wheel. He has awesome balancing and alignment equipment. I'll let you know. He has done many in our club and all are happy with his work.

For what it's worth, in the process of getting my C6 wheels balanced, it was determined that you can't use clip-ons on the outside. There is no lip to clip them on to. I did use clip-on on the inside and stickon weights on the inside rim.
