Balancing recap tires?

This is called a "static balance", they won't be balanced well. You do have options though.
1 - Glue on wheel weights. You can achieve good results by having them hammer on wheel weights to the inside lip, and using stick on weights just behind the wheel center.
2 - Powder balance. Anywhere from poor to excellent results can be had with balancing compounds (liquid or powder) or other media (like airsoft beads).
These are probably you two best options, but if the tires are not round, they will never drive well. I don't know what the quality of your re-tread tires is like.

If you put the tires on stock wheels, you should be able to put weights on both inner and outer beads. Are the wheels alloys or steel? If alloys, they need to use a wheel weight for alloys, in most cases the alloy wheel weight has a larger "opening" to fit over the lip of the wheel.
If this is a regular tire shop they should know this and not have a problem balencing a tire.
It has absolutly nothing to do with being a recap/retread at all, you balance them all the same, unless of course the tire was not capped properly, then your putting on pounds instead of ounces.
