locking wheel lug nuts

[darkcherrymetallic]

Hello. I was thinking of purchasing a set of locking wheel lug nuts (4 total). Would having four originally lug nuts and one after market locking lug nut on one wheel affect wheel balance. I did some googling online and a few sources say that a weight difference of 1.5 oz in lug nut weight can affect wheel balance? Would someone with more knowledge be willing to share their thoughts?

Thanks

No it won't.

Locking wheel lugs are a huge pain!

Have you checked on priced for them yet?

I have a set of 4 brand new locking lug nuts somewhere around here I'll sell you for 15.00 shipped. They are brand new in the package, but the package is opened.

I purchased them to use on a new set of rims I ordered. The rims ended up not fitting, so I never used the lug nuts.

If you are interested I will dig them out and snap you a picture. Let me know.....

tblake,

Can you tell me if those are GM locking wheel nuts? I am particularly interested in those because I still want to be able to cover the nuts with my chrome plastic covers.

Thanks.

Ahhh, I'll have to look, I'm not sure they have threads for the covers. But I will check, its been so long.

Do you live in north Minneapolis?
