They add small weights when they're balanced, nothing you have to worry about.

it can be

those weights are put on to the wheel to make it almost perfectly balanced, so no one area of the wheel/tire weighs any more than another...these weights are small, anywhere from 1-70 or 80 grams, but they help a lot. Taking the weights off could create vibrating at speed and, eventually, possibly even damage to some of the rotating parts...

so I say get them wheel weights back on where they used to be or, take em somewhere to be balanced
