Anybody else have this problem? It seems like I'm always stripping the threads off my lug nuts. Sometimes the wheel studs strip out too. It's mostly on the rear, but I have stripped some nuts on the front as well. Is it the cheap auto parts lug nuts I buy or what? I always torque the lugs down by hand.

I got gm bolts and I tighten them by hand and they do stripp easy. I over tightened one wheel key bolt and it cracked. Its still on untill i a replacement. In defence of gm I do take off the rims more so then the regular person, always modding somthing.
