Those weights are keeping your wheels in balance.

It's a good thing!

Stick-on weights don't damage the rim of the wheels as those that clamps on. Beside it is much easier to clean the wheels. Also, the balance can be placed in the centerline of the wheel. However, I was agast at how many weights are on each wheel... so much for precision machining
