I was wondering if these pieces will come off when they re-finish the rim and are they going to put conventional weight bars back on to replace these square pieces. I just want to have the re-finished rim looking exactly like factory condition after the job is done.
Those are weights to balance the wheel. It's on with double sided tape. When you remount the tire, they will install new ones so it's ok to remove.
