I have certainly had wheels stick to the hubs (even steel wheels), but fortunately I have never yet had a lug nut get frozen to a stud. Unless I used anti-seize while changing tires for summer or winter, my wheels are literally soldered to the hubs, whether it's the aluminum wheels or the steelies. On my '86 Civic Wagovan I had a lug nut that got stuck to its stud. Granted it happened only once, but that day I had to break the stud to be able to change that ?\|$/*\|&/$ flat tire.. I've used some kind of grease on them since then.. (Can you believe I was thinking "some kind of lubricant on my studs" ? Man I'm glad I didn't write that!) I've been working near the gay district for too long... Kyo 1997 Mystique GS Duratec ATX -- sold 2005 Focus ST - Quicker! - Still a Duratec!

Sounds kinda bad but it was my last resort and it worked. Thanks for everyone throwing in their two cents.

You're right, I was initially reading it as the wheel being stuck via the studs.
