Also, re-check them all after about 50 miles of Driving (Alloy Wheels will expand/contract which can loosen the Torque Settings). Hope this helps...

Got that, thanks, Jim.
I'm an old oil field worker, bolted lots of flanges! Just needed setting. I'd had guessed 100, not far off. I always go in a rotation of opposites, torque in sequences ot 30% and use an antisieze on base of hub. It helps get wheel off better as steel has a habit of 'holding on' to aluminum wheels! This is probably particularly true with the heat generated on this application as well.
