John....with aluminum wheels it is VERY important to recheck the torque of the lugnuts more often than with steel wheels.....since trailer wheels have a lot of side loading from turning the aluminum will compress and deform as the lugs loosen up,most will eventually take a set and stay torqued, but, I have always checked mine before every trip.....
