Yeah wheel wights are nothing new, people are just trying to find anything to nit pick about on the Camaro it seems. But brake caliper wights are not so I see the issue there.

That is not an unusual amount of weight. Also, because those weights are stuck on the wheel 1 inch or more from the outside of the rim, more weight is required.

The weights appear to be placed right where the valve stem is in the last picture. That tire should be unseated, rotated 180 clock/counter-wise and rebalanced.
