I've heard stories from people that didn't torque their lug nuts and suffered the consequences. IMO it is a simple thing to remedy and not a bad habit to check the torque on them every so often.

they are impossible to get off unless you have a impact hammer or whatever its called.

Yea, had to use that to get mine out, put anti-seize to try to keep them from doing that again, but with all the heat that goes throught there it will be a matter of time before you need that impact screwdriver to back tham out.
