I actually thought about it some more, and I honestly don't remember if the clips will actaully stick to the rim once you've removed the lead... I actually thinmk for some reason that the back of the lead is part of the holding mechanism.

However, lead is dense enough that you could use it to retain the screw heads, as well. You'd have to clip the weights on and have an understanding shop balance the wheel so they didnt' get removed, though.
