Default LACED WHEEL WEIGHTS ?

So I take my rear wheel off & to the dealership for a new tire, standard spokedlaced wheel off the Heritage. After I had picked it up and started to put back on the bike I noticed they had added some stick on weights on the inside edge of the wheel. I never had these B4, only the big cylinder type weights that are attached to the spokes 2 of them and they are still there plus the new stick on weights.

Are the weights wrapped around the spokes to balance the wheel? If you have a spoked wheel is that the right and only way you should balance. Just seems like they would have took all the weights off then balance and only put weights back on the spokes, not leave them+ add stick on weights.

Just wanted some input and education B4 I call them.

Thanks,
Dan

I have always had spoked wheels, and they have always had the weights attached to the spokes.

I suppose if the stick ons are applied properly they would work just as well though. just might look kinda goofy on a laced wheel
