10 lugnuts = 250 g (actual measurement)

I weighed them on an accurate scale that measures in 1 g increments. I then measured 100 U.S. pennies as a reference check, and found it accurately measured 250 g, as it should. So, I think you can trust this measurement. Note that the lugnuts were not scrubbed clean and a 0.1 g scale would measure a bit of brake dust adhering to these dirty lugnuts. I hope this degree of accuracy is sufficient for your needs.

Stay safe.

And, thank you for your service.
Nice! And 125g is only .3 grams off of what I already had listed, so it's good to know peoples' scales are reading so close. I'll use this as an additional reference.
