I you use any lubricant on wheel studs here in UT you get failed on your safety inspection. The factory torque spec is for dry application. Using any sort of lubricant will cause the lugs to be overtightened.

Not that I'm against using it, but I've never used it and I've never broken a stud. Are these on vehicles using factory wheels? How about aftermarket with or without centric rings? Can't imagine something as cheap as a wheel stud being made of low quality metals from factory.
