#163483 are the steelies hubcentric or is there some space between the hub and the wheel, putting the stress on the lugs?

Also are you using the right kind of lug nuts for the wheel? For example using a conical instead of a ball seat could come loose, if your wheels require a ball seat (oem honda wheels do). Using a honda lug nut which is ball seat on a wheel that uses a conical lug could also loosen.

#163569 any wheel that usually is prone to it?? i would scrap the wheels if off a mazda maybe try steelies or something and see if it still does it. are you over tightening the lugs?
