Those weights are there to balance the Tire and Wheel Assembly. You are not just balancing a a tire or a wheel you are balancing the combination. The weight is relative. If you don't want to see them your wheels can be balanced differently. However the adage of to gain something you have to give something up holds true. If it is looks and you balance differently you can induce some vibration into the assembly. This style wheel they are currently the best possible way to minimize vibration.
