AM Lugs
What is the torque recomended for AM wheels/lugs? Couldnt find an exact answer.
Got the Black GT500 18x9/10 rims
and the 6 spline black locking lugs

Specs I could find were 85-105ft/lbs. 2010 Shelby GT500 manual was 100 ft/lbs. I would not use an impact gun either as I saw someone who twisted/damaged the top half of the 6-spline lugs and the top half broke off when he went to remove them. Don't remember what forum I saw this on and it sounds like he must have really cranked on them.

I put mine between 95 and 100, just called AM since when I posted this up it was 4 am over there :P
He told me they should just stick to factory specs but gave me number of manufacturer incase I wanted to contact them.
yay am

That's what I did for years. Then I bought a torque wrench. I think I was pretty darn close when I used a regular wrench.
Don't think that a torque wrench is necessarily the holy grail. It can lose its accuracy over time. I doubt that very many people send their torque wrenches to a lab periodically to have the calibration checked. A good sense of feel is better than an inaccurate torque wrench.
Remember to check the lug nuts after you have driven about 500 miles to make sure they are still tight.
