Bolt on wheel simulators and keeping them bolted on

I have read of the simulators coming off on the Lazy Daze forum. Now if going to a tire store for anything I remove the sulators the pit them back myself. Also once or twice a year I take them off to clean and shine them with a polymer based wax. Every time I do this I think about painting the wheels and getting some dress lug nuts.
Note don't natural wax like Carnauba. The wax gets warm and then brake dust sticks to the simulator. Natural wax is good on the paint just not on wheels.
