Man I fail again 
Turns out the reason why my lugs kept on getting loose is because the stock studs aren't allowing the wheel to rest properly. They are just a little too long for the 10mm bolt-on spacers and press against the inside of the other open holes.
As you can see, the diamond-like holes aren't deep enough to give proper clearance. And the stock studs don't align with the holes for clearance. You can see that since I kept on retorquing the wheels down back to spec, it just kept on digging in to the wheel, even though its very shallow (absolutely nothing to worry about).
I had a guy telling me my wheel was wobbling (again), pulled over, and found out why.
Fawk me. Any ideas? I can obviously a) remove the spacers b) get 15mm ones (should clear the studs just fine) or c) roll without them (can't go back now that I am here
). And no, I will not go with the traditional slip on spacers.
I like the look the 10mm spacers. 15mm would be nice, but would require some more fender work. I'm getting tired of this ish!

the poorboys wheel sealant is a pretty big jar, it doesnt look like much but ive seen it before and you have to apply very small amounts anyways
but from what i read up, the wheel wax after you wash and then poorboys wheel sealant
