I comiserate the issue of rust and breaking studs etc as the result. But consider your wheel coming off while driving your prize possession down the highway.

The issue with wheel studs is the oscillating radial load combined with vibration. The use of anti-seize in particular is its relative thickness and lubricity which MAY lead to torque relaxation in this combined loading case. Acorn style nuts would be worse for this in my opinion than shouldered style mag nuts.

I agree with Rrumbler. A small amount of oil will inhibit rust and has much more friction than anti-seize. 20 years ago in school I perfromed experiments in a legal case where a wheel came off and people died. It was not anti-seize specific but it does happen!

Personally if I felt compelled to do so I would just use a light coat of oil and I would check the wheel torque often. What is more likely for me though is that I would not check it and my wheel would fall off. Then someone else might have to make the call whether or not I go to hell, prematurely that is ...........
