LJ being a alloy wheel try a lock washer under the nut. Should hold it all day. If you size it right it can even help spread the load of the nut ..

i just torque them down extremely hard... (I think it was the reason one of my XL axles broke off, also i rounded another nut which i couldnt get off...)

Bank thanks for the tip, ill have a look for a lock washer.

You could try two nuts and lock the first with the second.

Take a dremel tool and cut slots on the back side of the nut so the nut can grab the rim. Just put lines in on the back side
