Uh, yeah. Those are the wheel weights...for balance.
Yes, you could take them off but they will do that for you when you have them rebalanced; unless, of course, all of your wheels are within specification.
There are two main ways to balance a wheel - the outer weight (what most owner's have), and the inner weights (cosmetic reasons). Although I've been told that the inner, stick-on weights are not as accurate...I've never had any problems with them on any of my cars.
