I don't suggest it no. Firstly, Loctite should never be used on plastic, and the wheel nuts are locknuts, no need for Loctite.

except when the nylocks start not holding, I use locktite all the time with nylock stuff with zero problems.... and on my 17mm hex nuts I use locktite with great success, you never see me chasing down a loose wheel ever :)

Hmm yes that's actually true locknuts do not hold in anymore after you unscrew and screw them for a few times. Are they worth replacing though or should one just use Loctite?
