Default Wheel locks heavier than lug nuts - wheel balance?

I'm about to put a new set of wheels on my car and got a set of Gorilla spline drive lug nuts. Also got a set of the Gorilla wheel locks:
Gorilla wheel locks

The regular lug nuts weigh 33 grams, the wheel locks weigh 76 grams.
Will this cause balance problems or are they close enough to the hub that it won't matter?

(Please don't turn this into a "should you or shouldn't you use wheel locks" discussion)

i think it won't matter much since they are close to the center of rotation.
