Not just balanced but I make them use the lug centric hold down.
Lug centric uses an adapter that centers the wheel using the lug holes that have a taper to them and center the wheel same as it is mounted on the vehicle. This method will not have any chance of off-center based on that center hole.
Many cars and trucks have oem wheels that use a machined center hole that fits snug on the hub and these are fine for the hub centric cone. So the shops get used to this faster method and do the same for trailers.
google may have additional info or pictures.
