Solder wrapped tight around one or more spokes works well for permanent wheel weights. Also, it's reusable. Used it in the 1970's, and even now solder is currently on my spoke wheeled moto.
The above mentioned balancing methods work good enough. I don't rebalance the wheel after repairing a flat on the road. I mark the tire at the air valve before breaking the bead. When remounting it, using my mark, I mount the tire where it originally was on the rim before inflating it.
