Default just received rims, got a question tho

hey i just got my rims +tires and while i was inspecting it, in the inside, there's these little metal clips, and i looked at it closely and it said like 6 ounces on it or something. 2 of them had like 2 or 3 each, and the other 2 tires had a whole s--tload on there..............i'm just wondering what's the purpose of it on there, otherwise i'ma rip that off. is it there to make the wheels weigh the same or sumthin? ?by the ounces?

could be to balance it, don't rip them off just yet, they could be in important places

Did they pay you for getting their tires/rims? Its just free advertising for them. Leave em off, IMO.

don't take those weights off, they were put on them to balance purpose.

Leave the balancing weights (kinds weird that one has a lot of them though)

And I'd say leave the stickers off. Took me forever to get my stickers off (they were already on the wheels)

2 of them have a whole bunch, the other 2 had just a couple.............and what does everybody mean by balancing? i don't get that part, forgive a dumbass like me yeah, the weights are behind the spoke so you can't notice them from the front, which is cool, so, you guys have them(weights) on yours too?
