Default Lug Nuts Again

In my previous cars, I always installed one locking lug nut per wheel. I see they are being offered for the C7 in sets of 20. Would having one Gorilla locking lug nut and three original nuts per wheel adversely affect the wheel's balance, or is the weight difference insignificant?

The lug nuts probably weigh the same. The other thing is they are located close to the hub.

If you're going for it, go all the way.

Buy 20, use 20, don't make it easier for the Criminal.

Just my $.02. Your Mileage may vary.
