What about on-the-car balancing? Is it better?

On-the-car balance, sometimes called finish balancing, or on-wheel balancing, may be required to produce a smooth ride for some cars. Although relatively rare, out-of-balance conditions in wheel covers, brake drums or rotors, or wheel to hub fitment can cause your car to need finish balancing.

If off-the-car balancing is adequate to give you a smooth ride, the additional cost of on-the-car balancing is not usually justified. Consult an experienced technician if vibration persists after off-the-car balancing.
