My specific question is can I use stick-on weights on big steel wheels?

I picked up a tire balancing bubble balance from HF and am balancing my
vehicle wheels, some of which are fancy while others are plain stock steel.

For the fancy 17-inch alloy wheels, there's no place for clip-on weights,
so they get the stickies on the inside wide rim, but for the 15-inch steel wheels there is a place for everything, including the kitchen sink.

Specifically, the question is can you use stick-on weights on steel wheels?

To get to why I ask, it turns out that my HF only sells the stickies.
I can get the clip-ons though at Amazon so I can buy anything out there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLVXN9W2

Back to HF, my local store only sells 1/2 ounce and 1/4 ounce stickies.
Again that's not a problem as I can get the 1 ounce stickies on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD3LZJ69

Given that, my only specific question is whether it's appropriate to put
the stickies on the ugly steel wheels or if I should really use clip ons.
