I'm only talking about a smear, not a tin full! You're far more likely to get wheel imbalances after you or someone else who can't get the wheel off a year down the road, because it's corroded around the hub flange in particular, takes his 2kg club hammer out and tries to knock it off.
Been maintaining my own cars now for well over 50yrs and using copper grease ever since I've had cars with alloy wheels and it's served me well. Others can do what they choose.
