Darkness: machining the hubs would be my least favourite option, besides I have no idea who locally could put a wheel in a lathe - I sure I will be able to rectify (bodge?0 with spacers somewhere in the system.
Alan S4: balancing is an issue I agree, probably worse with lighter wheels as most imbalance come from the overlap when they lay the tread on the tyre carcass. Usually I have found that a new tyre has a mark showing the heaviest point but not on these Michelins, there was however a stuck on bar code right near the bead and I put this opposite the valve. I may make up a static balance frame and spin the wheels for hours watching where it stops or I might not bother and worry about it if I get any vibration.
