This part is confusing to me. Shouldn't they remove the trim ring\center cap to balance the wheels?

it confused me and the parts guy at first too because you would think so but the steel wheel is made, then the ss trim ring is made they GM permabonds them together so they can never come apart.
only the center cap comes off and the outer trim ring doesn't so it is two pieces but made as one part you cant separate.
look at the wheel here any it might help you see whats going on:
