Thanks for the replies guys, think I'll just paint them up. They're barely noticeable when walking up to the car, just when you get get down and have a closer look

It's hard to get knock on weights onto some wheels, so in that case the stickies work best. They'll go dirty in no time and blend in with the rest of the wheel. Depending on the wheel size they'll hit the caliper if you put them in the wrong place as well.

It's not hard, its impossible to get on most new alloys due to not having a lip to attach them to.

just dont clean them as i do.... they will soon be black 

Just thinking that, brake dust will sort the colour out.

But you wouldn't put knock on weights on there would you? They only lead to localised corrosion of the wheels and look naff.
But as pointed out, you can't put them on anyway as there's nothing to fasten them to.

To expand on my earlier post, you can buy a box of 50 black wheel balance weights from here, for £15:
