As I  mentioned elsewhere what is shown is all very well for new wheels
with new tyres however, in my experience, all wire wheels tend to go out of
round over the years, probably because of uneven spoke tension when
originally built, and once that occurs no amount of balancing will resolve
things.
The only solutions are:
1.Buy new wheels and tyres again. (Expensive)
2. Remove the tyres and have the wheels "trued" [an advanced skill], strip
and repaint then remount new tyres, (Expensive and time consuming)
3. Shave the tyres as they are on the wheel. ( Inexpensive and remarkably
effective).
4. Put up with the scuttle shake.
