The bags of beads work great and I'd use them in a heartbeat myself. Once in a while the bags break open though and in cold weather they coagulate in the valve stem when this happens. They recommend that you use the gas, Nitrogen I think to fill your tires when usin these beads.
And you know me, I can't do nothin the normal way. I'm always lookin for a better way.
I use counteract balancing beads. http://www.counteractbalancing.com/
They dont require nitrogen fill (although its probably a good idea)...Had them for 4 winters this way - and like I said, Ive never had a problem even at -40.

I use Counteract beads - looks like they recommend 8-10 oz for a 19.5" wheel:

Another drawback you forgot to mention is weight. Rickson hasn't had the forged aluminum available for quite some time now. That is what I was going to go with before I ended up getting 20" Centerlines because the Rickson aluminum wheels are no longer avilable. The 19.5 Rickson steelies are heavy: Double the weight of the forged aluminum at over 60lbs. @.

Here is a place I was checking out.Stockton Wheel Service - Custome Wheels They do a lot of custom work and would probably cost more than Rickson's but maybe not
