I actually apply anti-seize to the threads and the nuts seam to go on and off so much smoother and I never had a problem with any coming loose. I've been doing this on all my cars for the last 10 years and no issues and they always maintain the same torque when checked with a torque wrench after 6 months.
Anyone else doing this?

I found that without using the anti seize, they corrode REAL BAD, and make lug removal a pain. The lugs actually do go on and off much easier.

Had that happen a few times, the shop that does my wheels didn't charge me (took like 45 mins for one lug), but they were the ones that did it in the first place =)
Never would happen if shop used torque sticks or a torque wrench.
I am like torque them to 80lbs, and they are like that is all, I am like that is what the owners manual saids, I think the manufacturer should know.
