You can usually just tear the weights off but prying them with a screwdriver. Just be carefull not to mark the rim. To get the sticky off employ one of these...  |

A hairdryer or heat gun to remove the weight and then WD40 works a treat.

Yup, hot air gun to loosen the glue, then use a wide flat bladed screwdriver with masking tape wrapped around the tip to ease the weights off, followed by a rub with some thinners or white spirit to get any adhesive trace off.
