last time i checked they still have the hammer on weights, they are a coated lead to limit corrosion with aluminum wheels. what i usually do is ask for only "static balancing" thats where they only do the backside of the rim so you dont have ugly weights on the front that can also get in the way of trim rings. & actually the stick on weights are very good & usually dont come off if applied to a clean wheel. most places use them nowadays. the bfg's i just had done at my local sears they used both, i said only static balance but their newer machine required boyth the tack on lead weights plus the stick on inner weights, which resulted in a better balance since the stick ons were located more towards the front edge of the rim. you should be fine with either or both.
