Get a habit of checking them every 5k miles same way. if you're having the wheels rotated, make sure sure to tell your shop to be careful with the impact gun as there are wheel spacers in there, getting the wheels off and back should be done the old fashion way, no impact guns. also before putting them in, make sure to clean the hub surface where they're going to be mated, and apply a very light bed of antiseize to the back of the spacers surface that would be pressed against the hub, this way they'll come off like butter if you happen to leave them on for a big while, you won't believe how this things can get literally fuzed in the hub sometimes
