This..... At minimum apply anti seize to all your lugs/studs on your wheels.... You'll be happy you did the first time you have to take a lug nut off... As a rookie and ignorant around 15 years ago i failed to do this and the first time i tried to take off a wheel i broke two studs because they were so corroded... Read somewhere about anti seize and have religiously always applied it since. The only drawback is that it can smear once you drive and dirties your rims.
