The light blue ones are made of Smurfs.
The green ones Leprechauns.

The white ones come from Angels.
And the black ones from their blood.
The silver ones are recycled from old film stock, now you've all gone digital.
And the orange ones are from the sun.

I'd actually highly suspect rim tape over lap as another contributor. Plus, the seam / pinning process adds some weight.

However, as you've stated he's got an unbalanced wheel, not necessarily an unbalanced rim.

my rims are black cause my heart is friends with gsus black-rock *******(NO)
kill kill kill my rim heart and rim me through the night.
rim me through my black black nite heart with gimpers and glass glass gimped hearts of hell-palm.
smoke my smote my black velocity rims until they glow black
until they glow like the purple black
aubergine breasts of the nubian night!
f me you tark fricks!

No sorry but I think you're wrong on that one.
The soon to be released tempered glass ones are made from the sweat of warriors, the red are made form the blood of their victims.
And the yellow ones from their bile ducts.
