EDIT: I still can't find the readings for キロ. Also does this represent both kilogrammes and kilometres. I also can't find some others like, centimetres and so forth.
I just want to remind you of that awesome site you bookmarked the other day:
http://www.alc.co.jp/index.html

Centimeters: “centimeters”の検索結果(194 件):英辞郎 on the Web:スペースアルク
(センチ)

As for readings, the link that KyleGoetz gave has some rules in it:
Japanese counter word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And so does the link snbzk gave:
counters [The Nihongoresources Grammar book]

By these rules it goes:
いっきろ
にきろ
さんきろ
よんきろ
ごきろ
ろっきろ
ななきろ
はっきろ
きゅうきろ
じゅっきろ

And yes, it can be both kilogrammes and kilometres.
