I use a little bit of copper anti-seize on the studs, and that's it. I keep the mating surfaces clean to get thatsolid lock, but ensure that whatever lugs I'm using aren't going to corrode (whether it's rust, the cold welding you get with aluminum on metal, etc.)
I've never had a problem with wheels loosening up, but I'm also not leaving a single set of wheels on a car for more than 6 months either. I've got 250k and what has to be at least 100 wheel changes on the wagon, and I don't have any stud or lug issues.
