Thanks for posting that pic HotWhip, those wheels on a pewter T/A look badass.
Thanks for sharing blu98T/A, I didn't realize the difference in the lip until you pointed that out to me, I like the idea as well.

Only observation I see (other than the fact that they look good) is that they didn't match the tire up to the valve stem on the wheel. No biggie...

See those yellow dots. That dot should ideally be located on par with the valve stem. This assures the wheel/tire will balance out with the least amount of weight.
That mark basically identifies the lightest part in the circumference of the tire.

Not really a big deal, but it's there for a reason ya know?
A lot of guys don't do it, because of the lower profile tires. Once you have the tire mounted, it's tougher to line up/spin the tire because of the beefy sidewall.

First off the wheels look great on your car, but I too am biased. I've had my 19x9.5s HP Evos darks on for about 18 months now and new regret going with them.
To the wheel balancing topic. I'm guessing the 'best' way to balance them would be to find the heavy spot on the rim and them find the light spot on the tire and then match those up so you use the least amount weights and achieve the most optimum balance.

But you are right.
