Mine came with lug nuts, but they sent them for my Mustang instead of the s2k, luckily there's an American Tire Company a couple miles away that swapped them out for me

Can you weigh a wheel (on an accurate scale) before tires are mounted? Claimed weights are all over the place (some people claim ~17, I got about ~18, TSW claims 19).
I will grab a scale and see.

Mine showed up on Wednesday- haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. Hopefully they'll be on in a few hours.

Whoops, didn't see this one.

Summit was drop shipping the Gorilla locks straight from the factory. Discount didn't have the full lock kit- where all 20 are locks- so I ordered the set separately. I went ahead and bought another set at my local Discount Tires though (16 lugs + 4 locks). I can use them on the wife's xB when it gets out of the shop, since her wheels have normal spline drives with no locks on them right now. Those wheels are pretty low key, so hopefully thieves won't try to take them off! They haven't in the past year and a half anyway.

For everyone else, just for giggles, I went ahead and cut out the Stoptech templates. The 328x28 ST40 kit (98-429-2430-00) looks like it'll fit just fine with 2mm-ish to spare. I'd take a picture, but it's hard to hold a flimsy sheet of paper in place inside the wheel and aim a camera at an awkward angle at the same time. I'd recommend 2-3mm worth of spacers just to be safe, but I've run caliper to wheel clearances tighter than that without any issues on lesser wheels.

Oh, these are on the 17x9 +63 wheels.
