Wheel weights

Wheel weights
Had a new set of tires installed and didn't have time to remove old wheel weights and clean off the glue before I took the wheels (only) into the tire shop. The old weights were a smooth, grey 1 piece type, between about an inch to 4 inches. When they were done mounting and balancing the tires, I noticed they replaced the weights that were on the wheels with an ugly segmented line of weights each with a number stamped on them. Unfortunately you can easily see them when looking at the wheel. I figured that's all they had otherwise they would have replaced them with like weights. I figured I could just get some of those smooth non-segmented weights and put them on myself. I have searched the Internet for quite some time and can't find anything but those ugly lead chunk lines of weights! They kind of ruin the looks of my wheels if you ask me.
Does anybody have any ideas or comments?

I don't think there's much choice where the weights are installed, they have to go where they have to go in order to balance the wheel. Aesthetics isn't part of the equation unfortunately.
I did find the solution though, 3M makes the weight strip I'm looking for.
