Either way the wheel needs to be very well balanced. The sticky ones come in a strip, while the clip-ons come in different weights. I can think of situation where the clip on [one weight] can be better than the strip. The other problem with the strip is, that in Texas heat .. if they are on a spare, they fall off.
For looks the strip is better and at times needed where you have tight clearances.
I would only insist on getting it right.
Look for shops with "hunter" machines ... board members have raving reviews.

How do you know there is a balance problem? They should not have been put on until they were properly balanced to begin with.
