Ya, These didn't come with screws either...there very aftermarket drilled/slotted style but I was just telling someone that the wheel alone would be enuf to hold that in place...but im still replacing the screws just to be safe.

Crud, I jacked the holes up when trying to remove what was left of the screws. I think now I have no choice but to allow the lugnuts to hold it in place.

Anyways, Thanks for all the input.

I replaced the rotors on my sisters 99 civic (first time for them ever to be replaced) and they didn't have screws. I would't lose sleep over this one.

i don't even try to unscrew them anymore, i just reach straight for the drill. I you do not feel comfortable leaving them out, do youself a favor: go to a hardware and get some new screws but get the ones with the allen wrench heads instead of a phillips head it will be the exact same size and shape only it's nearly impossible to strip one of those out. also use some anti-seize

They must be the exception then. None of the rotors I've ever purchased have, even Honda OEM rotors don't.

To my knowledge, those screws were used on the assembly line to hold the rotors on so that they didn't have to put the wheels on until the end ... I've never put them back in because I can never get them back off (half the reason is because I live in OHIO) ...
