AG-Thanks for responding and explaning this MUCH better than I can (dynamic/traditional). I was assuming he was asking for the differences between stick-on weights vs. rim weights and inadvertantly called them "dynamic" and "traditional". My bad.
Well aware that current methods of dynamic balance for cosmetic reasons (placing weights out of sight) is not as accurate. Especially if the wheels are wide and have a negative offset. Placing weights near the center line will "balance" them, maybe enough for the average user, but as you said it defeats the advantage of a dynamic balance. Fine line to walk in this day and age of wider wheels and customers wanting the "form" over "function".
One question, can or do some of the more modern, advanced machines compensate for this difference when using tape weights? Reason I ask is that some of the current alloys do not have a defined lip to attach rim weights and make it darned near impossible not to use anything BUT a stick-on.
