yea they are full of it.. if anything the opposite is true. most chrome wheels need to be re-tightened after 20-30 miles of driving!

i use an impact gun on my wheels for speed.. but have a "torque stick" which is an extension that gives at 75 ft lbs so i cant tighten much past that, then i hand torque to 90 (manuf. suggests 87, i like round numbers)
