I too never balance my Model A wheels. It is just not necessary for the relatively slow speeds involved. I fixed wheel wobble issues last year by refreshing tie rod ends and other related components.

A Model A tyre/wheel combination is very similar to motorcycle wheels from the 60's. Back then we did simple static balancing and wrapped non-cored wire solder around the spokes for weights. Worked well at speeds up to 140+mph. Maybe this would suffice for speeds up to 60mph of a typical Model A.
