Why wouldn't a wheel without a tire be balanced? They are pretty much symmetrical.

Tires are built of layers of rubber, fabric and belts. Although the manufacturer endeavors to space the overlaps in the woven materials, there are still heavy sectors and light sectors. Thus, when they are mounted you have to balance it or deal with the vibration.
Some high end tires require less remedial balancing.
