I will still 100% stand by the fact, and would put money on...the fact that if static balancing "solved" the problem, something is still fawked.
Static balancing, especially on anything over a 15" wheel...is sh*t.
A bandaid has been applied, and the actual issue was never solved.
EDIT: The only way tape (static) weights are superior, is because you can clump a sh*tload of them in one area. You can only stack so many weights on a lip before it starts throwing things off.
But, then again, if you'd hit that point in tape weights...the tire/wheel combo usually needs a closer look.

For what its worth, in my time at the tire shop, I never placed pound-on weights on the outside of an aluminum rim. My boss didn't like it for his personal stuff, and carried it over to customer stuff. We never had a come-back. All aluminum wheels got pound-on weights on the inner lip only or stick on weights.
