Is that literally why they exist? To fuck with people?

They are used to balance tires, but only one or a few in the right locations.

No, they are used to balance wheels and tires that are out of balance.

When a new tire is mounted on a wheel, it has to be balanced on a machine that spins it, locates the light side, operator adds weights to make it balance.

Haha no, wheels and tires can't be produced balanced consistently. So after the tire is put on the wheel, you put those weights on to balance them.

Nope. If you walk past cars you will often see this.

My car has a few one one of the rims
