Depends on frequency of usage and how much lateral acceleration the car can generate. Cars with slicks and aero will need to replace them more often than cars on street tires and stock suspension.
Someone quoted 2-3 years to me once. That probably sounds right for the faster cars out there. As you can see in this thread some people get away with longer, but at some point you run the risk of a wheel coming off. Most every car I know that has lost a wheel had R comps and aero, but I also know a street-tired EF Civic that nearly lost a wheel (3/4 lugs were spotted loose).
