   A static wheel balancer is pretty inexpensive but it's not really a good   
   idea to use one on tires that will be operated at high speed. A manual   
   tire changer is also pretty cheap, under $100. But by the time you pay   
   retail prices for the weights, and pay for the equipment cost, you'd be   
   able to pay for a lot of wheel balancing before you achieved a positive   
   ROI, and you would not have tires that are properly balanced after all   
   that. A dynamic wheel balancer is over $1000 for a very basic model from   
   China.
