When you use the brakes to maximum potential, they get very hot even though isolators are used to limit heat transfer into the caliper body from the pads. These appear to be wheel balance weights that are being "stuck" on using a double sided adhesive tape that often uses a thin foam core. They won't survive the heat long, and I would estimate that a stiff power wash may break them loose.
I have no problem with proper weight dampers on the calipers with good form, fit, and function, but this is without a doubt an after thought. Its not a deal breaker, but very short sighted engineering to fix a nuisance issue without slowing delivery...it looks absolutely laughable to anyone that has a mechanical engineering background.
