I knew someone in the late 60’s, maybe 1970 or 71, who had an older chrysler/dodge run of the mill ugly car.  they had a flat, and since I was a teenager on a bicycle, and I knew them, I stopped to help. I could not for the life of me budge the lugnuts, until the lady suggested they were reversed.  they were.  only time I ever ran into that. other than that, I will agree with Paul.

Wire wheels now that's a different story. 

There is no rotation force on a lug nut that should be anything close to the frictional force of rim to lug.
So the idea of the threads AND nut spinning in one direction or the other should mean little if anything.
Now on wire wheels where rotational forces ARE acting directly against the 'nut' to wheel interface, yes they are handed.
