Yep. Put a good strong 3/4 impact wrench on a wheel stud, pull the
trigger and let go when the nut stops turning - I guarentee you will
have cracks radiating out from the stud hole in the aluminum wheel.

Using an impact to spin down the nut is perfectly fine, as long as you
finish off with a torque wrench. But you have to have a very light
trigger finger - let go of the trigger when you SEE the nut approaching
the wheel, not when you FEEL it snugging the wheel.
