Wheel locks came with my rim and tire combo 
Mine has the 5.2 liter, but the 4.56's dont bog it down at all... I had to drive with the 4.56;s with my 31s for a while... and that SUCKED... lke 3 grand at 80 MPH. never got better than 10mpg. I cant recomend more the 4.56 gears with the 33's its perfect for me... I was hoping that it wouldent have the power to spin the tires just under throttle but it still with sit and roast them for like 10 feet if I floor it... sucks I just have to be carefull cause im not killing these nice *** tires.
Word of warning... I think its mostly becasue of these rims becasue they stick out so far, but my truck only has a 2 in leveling kit on it and I thought the tires wouldent rub... but they do... they hit the bottom on the inner fender well, and if you have the same setup as me GRIND OFF THE SHARP PART!!!!!!!!!!! that little flat peice that runs along the bottom of the truck that has the spot welds and whatnot in it... I dident think of it but I looked at my tire today and its cut right down the side through the ***** like 3/8 of a inch deep! I was pretty pissed. But by the looks of it wont mess with anything. hopefully.
Im seriously in love with the way it looks, and Im stoked that others feel the same!
So far ive gotten alot of complements, and I love the way people I drive by just stare at it.
One of my "friends" said the rims are "booty" and they are black man rims and all this... I think hes crazy... I love them.
Another thing I love is the way it drives... honestly I can not tell I have meaty tires on it, other than the low speed vibration of the lugs, and the howl... it drives tight, doesnt wander... but these tires made it ride like a ROCK... every bump you hit you feel it... but thats probablly from the 5100 series bilsteins I got on it (which also I would recomend to anyone because they are AWESOME!!!)
Edit:
If anyone wants new rims and tires I would check out desertrat.com
I think I got a killer deal on mine, 33in mickeys, dc-1s, locking lugnuts, hub covers, mounted and balenced shipped to my door for $1425. Took a little while,about 8 days... but they are in AZ and im in MI so im sure thats some of it.
