I think Bernie was making a tongue in cheek comment Martin.  All cars are
delivered from the factory and recieve factory service without ANY
recommended (or not recommended) lubricant anywhere on the wheel/bolt/hub.  A
"wet" torque spec might be interesting to speculate on, but in this case,
without precedence or necessity.

Scott,

What about BB's suggestion of lubricating the thread and bolt heads (or lug
nuts) first?  Did you try this?  If so, did it reduce the number of times
that
you needed to re-torque, before things remained tight?
