Wheels only.

The sets have left Seattle, probably not to be delivered till Monday, however. The centercaps are out for delivery, though!

Anyone know the torque settings offhand? Or, I'll have to dig out the manual, which is no problem.
Hi,

The Torque Spec is 130Nm or 96 Ft. Lbs.. Be sure to tighten these in alternating sequence, tightening a Bolt's Opposite until all are tightened. It's also a good idea to Torque them in steps, say 30 Ft. Lbs., 60 Ft. Lbs., and finally 96 Ft. Lbs. This will insure greater accuracy. 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...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
