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).
The CSG BRZ used to get brakes glowing hot several times a week, for a few years.

Still on stock wheel bearings (somehow) and stock studs.
