As the tire wears and changes, it remains balanced. Lead weights are only right when you balance them, every day you drive the tire wears and the lead weights are losing effectiveness. That's why you are supposed to rebalance them every year.
DynaBeads and CounterAct are two of the bigger names in the business. You can actually use a lot of different things, I've even heard of guys using antifreeze!
In addition to not scratching the finish of an expensive wheel, they also provide for a nice clean look. Rim weights or even stick on weights that are visible detract from the beauty of the wheel.

I'm going to add a picture of a crewcab here so Tito doesn't get mad at me for going offtopic ;>
I was going to use DynaBeads but according to their website and their tech dept that I contacted by phone, they do not work when using 19.5 wheels and tires on a pickup truck. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/P...h19.5_22.5.pdf
