I've managed to corner weight my car after every run only at one meeting but it was a real struggle to get any settings changed and get a decent tyre prep in so I completely understand not using the set up wheels in that case. I just find it makes the measurements more repeatable. With wheels and tyres I can rotate a wheel 1/4 turn and the measurements change.
I think it's important to mention that corner weighting a car isn't a 100% precision exercise. There is always a certain amount of error and we have to decide how much error we can eliminate and how much we can accept but always keep that error in mind when taking readings.
