1. Is this issue likely to happen if you don't swap wheels frequently? I'm going to put on some Apex 17x9s and leave them on year round. I'll torque them down between runs at the track by hand, probably 1-2 track days /mo. Probably only doing one or two removals per year for tires/pads.

2. Have the newer model years rectified this issue at all? I have a 2020 just bought earlier this year.

Happy to upgrade to the ARP lugs if needed but from the above not really clear that it is necessary.
Somebody early on in my ownership overtorqued all of my lugs. Was it the tire company or a dealer or the factory? I don't know, but I've replaced maybe ten bolts in 30k miles. They have been failing one or two at a time. Currently one is bad. I'll be replacing all the lugs and nuts soon, with upgraded parts. Pain in the fucking ass.
