Now I'm very much wondering about getting the $50 harbor freight stand and truing it myself.
Any recommendations on what size wheel weight to get? They have 1/4oz and 1/2oz, I would assume the 1/4oz would be better to dial it in more accurately.

You don't really need to buy the wheel balancing stand as Bill Hilly said. Get your front wheel off the ground and remove the brake caliper and give it a spin. Use any marker you can see and mark the wheel high spots as it spins on both sides. You tube is your friend here. DON'T tighten spokes close to one another, about a 7 count to tighten next spoke is a good starting point. Good luck.
