I torque the stock lugs on stock rims to 85 every time and have pretty much the same experience as you seem to have with the aftermarket ones (albeit minus the track time stress). I should check them more often, but I don't take the wheels off too often and they are always fine. As it is, I've only had a couple of lugs between all four wheels ever need tightening on the 2nd re-torque - after that they are always fine.
