i cant say about disco's but.....alloy wheels react differently than steel to the weather. that is to say that they will expand and contract as the ambient temp changes. this has caused, in the past, some of the wheel nuts to loosen on my speed performance cars (when i had them). not a great deal but enough that it required me breaking out the torque wrench. and thats my .05 cents worth.
