Also, keep in mind that when your car was new, the wheels were perfectly round and naturally balanced. Now that they have some miles on them they're not that perfect even if they still look good. So they need more counterbalancing.

That was one (the only?) benefit of the ole' steel wheels: the weights were usually fastened to the inside lip, or at worse covered by a hub cap. With see-through alloy wheels, it's much more difficult to hide them!
