Shooter wheel balancing

So we noticed (but pretended not to) that our shooter wheel had a little vibration in it during testing right before shipping. Does anyone have any clever ideas on how to balance it? Obviously we would want to remove a little material from the heavy side (it's an 8" plastic wheel with rubber tread). I was thinking of spinning it a few times by hand and waiting to see which side ends up at the bottom. The problem with this is that the axel bearings are a little stiff, so this method may not be too reliable. Any cool ideas out there? I'm hoping to have time to fix it during our Lonestar Regional, you know how much free time there is! Or maybe we should just call it our ball agitator/shooter
