My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Video froze near the end but I didn't hear him explain how a hot alloy being rapidly cooled in a creek crossing can affect lug nut tension and if your not on the ball could lose a wheel .
I prefer metal over alloy .

I would probably flog off the alloys and buy some steel rims if I ever upgraded to a GU.
The video played ok for me.

I have seen some alloy rims on road vehicles, that have had their bead welded after hitting pot holes on our beautifully smooth (cough cough) local roads. Not sure I would trust the weld.

In other words do it up until you snap the stud, then back it off half a turn! I did not realise that the alloys rely on the stud so much. It makes sense to change out the studs periodically while running alloys.
