Wheel torque specs? (pics inside)
Had to say pics inside to get someone in here, this is definately a boring topic! Anyways, here's what I'm doing today:
So that is why I need to know what I need to torque my wheels to when putting them back on! Thanks! Captain McFunk

Never used a torque wrench on lugs for years. Had a Catera that seemed to get warped rotors all the time. I was swapping tires/wheels 3-4 times per year. Didn't believe it would make much of a difference but started using a torque wrench and pattern tightening the lugs. Stopped the warping pronto. Bought a second Catera and the rotors now have over 100k with no warping.

I'm assuming it's the car that dictates the specs and not the wheel?
