Black Wheel Balancing - Hiding Weights???

I'm about to get a new set of black powder coated wheels mounted on my Z06. Last time I had a black set balanced they put the weights right behind the spokes of the rims. Being black wheels with silver weights it looked terrible. Can I simply place the weights on the very inside part of the wheel, so they are hidden well behind the brake caliper? Do wheel places have black weights? I'd prefer not to paint the weights once they're stuck on the wheels. The style of the Z06 wheel makes it tough to hide silver weights.
