Should all new brake drums have balance weights?

I have a mild, high speed vibration after all the maintenance I recently did on the 4runner (axle seals, 100% brake rebuild, shocks...) and was just curious if new drums should have balance weights. The ones I got from Napa have none. All the parts stores around me describe their drums as being "precisely balanced for smooth operation" yet being made in China and marketed towards DIY car folks I'm skeptical.
So what have you guys seen when buying new drums? Weights or none?
Lets ignore other sources of vibrations in this thread.
