You can put a square piece of wood on a spin balancer and still spin balance it..

You need to find a shop that performs road-force balancing. I could spend an hour typing out the difference between standard spin balancing and road-force balancing but there are any number of online video sources that explain the technology and process:

Road force is definitely the ONLY way to go....but another issue that I ran into was finding a tire shop that had the equipment to handle the wide rims ....ended up having to go the dealer who fortunately also has rode force equipment.

Why go to a dealer for something a good tire shop can do much better, and cheaper?

I will bet you the tire shop can get them balanced, assuming the wheels even have a problem.
