Nice, but you gotta...
do something about that LF wheel. Anytime there is that much weight, something is wrong. Wheel, tire, both out of round. Find a good tire tech and a road force machine.
But yes, they look nice.

ride height is only marginally lower than stock (star).
interesting about the wheel weights. you think this is a function of the wheel or tire being unbalanced, or is it lazy tire mounting?

I would have the tire shop index the tire or tires to avoid such a mass of weights....(turn the tire 90 degrees) that should help
also when the tires were installed there is a dot on the side wall to line upto the valve stem for installation
Nice Wagon!

OK, Mark Cummins is...
on the right track. Indexing is your first shot. But really, on what is supposed to be a quality tire/wheel combo (I didn't see the brand of tire), you need to get to a shop that has a road force machine. This will determine the high and low spot of the wheel AND the tire, separately, and put together, so that you can work from the "roundest" (bad word I know) combination to balance. You can "balance" all day long, but if the entire unit is not round, then you're wasting your time. You simply should not have that kind of weight on a quality wheel/tire combo.

That seems like a LOT of wheel weights required to balance. Any idea if that is a tire or wheel issue. I saw that, and got scared. I can't imagine new wheels would be that far out of balance. 
In terms of the look of wheels, I love them
