Reply to "Wheel Lugnut Torgue Specs"

Another note most wheel companies offer. Re-torque after 50 miles. I have had cases where paint, burrs or metal compressed reduced the set torque after a few days. Most important for brand new rims fresh from the machine shop. Best to double check after some time just to be sure.

And yes, tire shops who bang on wheel using impact hammers will always over torque. Worst experience is being on the road changing a tire that some kid hammered on the lug nuts.
