Changing your wheels is not related to your brake system (rotors/pads).

I ALWAYS torque my lug nuts, but I think also take my wheels off more often than most do.

If you overtorque the lugs can't you warp the rotor? Kind of makes sense since you're increasing pressure on the rotor, especially if the torque is unbalanced from each lug.
