Try some thread lock.

Like Spike asked, what are you torqueing it to?

The LMGT4 wheels require around 92 ft/lbs or something... But I torqued them to 10 over, and tightened them again after a quick drive.

Something else…

The only way to get a true torque value on all lugs is tightening the lugs with the wheels suspended (as is done in the shop).

If you tighten your lugs while the wheels are weighted, you will need to roll the car forward slightly (doing a full 360 rotation during the process) and alternately check each lug for proper torque. That is simply because a weighted wheel may not be flush with the hub, and you won’t get accurate torque values.
