Default Centramic Wheel Balancers

I posted about these in my build but decided it was better to talk about them here then there if a debate starts. i saw these in 4wd's parts catalog the other day and i think they would be worth it if they work but if it could just be a crazy claim. what do you guys think?

Just my personal feelings, I would rather not use them.

yeah i feel like they would either work great or completely screw with your tires.

There must be something in that outer ring and be working on the same principle as putting balancing beads or BBs inside of your tires.

If it is just a solid hunk of metal with no moving parts it wouldn't be able to adapt to varying balancing needs.

Since they'd be working on the same principle, the balancing beads seem like a far cheaper solution.
