Default Black tape weights?

Just got my wheels on last night. I noticed that they used quite a few tape weights for balancing, but they look ugly... there isnt much of a lip on my wheels to hide them.

Anyway to make them less noticable? I do see you can buy black ones which would help, but was curious if anybody has a tricks on this one.

I just taped 'em off and hit them with some flat black high-temp exhaust tape I had laying around. Doesn't take any time at all, really.
