I doubt you messed them up permanently.  If that is the problem, then
properly torque-ing them should clear things up.

AutoZone has a cheap 1/2" drive torque wrench that goes up to 150 ft/lbs
for about $25.  The lug nuts are 21mm.  Snug the lugs up, then torque to 80
ft/lbs in a cris-cross pattern.

I use the AutoZone wrench on high torque, not so critical stuff.  For the
majority of the smaller fasteners, I have a Craftsman 3/8" drive torque
wrench that goes up to 75 ft/lbs in 1/2 ft/lb increments.  It's been sent
out for calibration and has papers traceable back to the NIST  :)  [I used
