Did they balance it on the truck? Only way I can think of they could have done that.

A local shop has ability. An electric drive wheel they pushed up against the tire to spin it on the car. The selling point was it not only balanced the tire and wheel but also wheel cover, hub and brake drum all together. Only thing was, if you rotated your tires it had to be redone.

They would balance the regular way normally, but if a customer came back with a complaint than they would drag out the on car balancer and do that. They never used it on mine but I have watched them do it to other cars.

Take a closer look, there probably those fake wheel weights made for wheel covers.
