Sticky back lead weights do seem like the best bet. I used epoxy putty, but it took alot of it. I just bought 11.35lbs of lead wheel weights (smallest amount carquest would sell me).

Shaun, the heavy part ends up at the bottom (thanks gravity!) so you just apply the weight to the top of the wheel. Takes a bit of trial and error to get the weight correct. Might also be a good idea to see if the rim is balanced. If the rim is not balanced it may be a good idea to mark it as you can index the heavier area of the rim to offset the heavy area of the tire.
