Found some wheel weights on the floor in my garage. Do I need to go get rebalanced asap, or are they just needed when balancing initially and shouldn't be a big deal/ can wait until the next time I have my tires changed?

Drive it and if it’s smooth relax you are good. If it’s vibrating you know what to do.

If you live somewhere that does seasonal tire changes, and you're not experiencing vibrations, shimmy or other adverse effects, it can probably wait a week or two. If you are experiencing adverse driving conditions, just go do it now. How much weight came off, and are they clip ons or stickies?

How does the car feel? If it's shaking your fillings out, yes. If not, ignore it.

It could cause a vibration in the vehicle and uneven wear patterns but it won't like make your tire explode or something. Kinda up to you on when you want to deal with it, now or risk it and hope the tires still wear evenly.
