Lug nuts won't stay tight
#26
By the way , star pattern only works if you have 5 or more lugs. With 4 use a cross pattern , yeah  snug em up off the ground then crank em down on the ground. 
Fred, are the lugs stripped by any chance? If so you're in for problems. It is repairable, but you'd have to either replace them or rethread them and go to the next smaller size lug nut(s) which is a bit of a hassle. 
I'm not a big fan of loctite.. It can make the next repair much more difficult, but if you do keep a propane torch handy..
