the wheel lugs dont need an exact torque. hand tighten it with the wrench, then give one good kick to finish it off. make sure you tighten them down using the cross-over pattern. tighten one, then go across the wheel and tight then next one. move over one, tighten it, then go across the wheel and tighten the next. do this a couple times and it should be good.

The correct torque for wheel lugs is 80 ft/lbs. Doing it your way can crack the wheel, break a stud, or warp your rotors and or tires. Never ever just "kick it" unless you don't care about your wheels, car, and brakes. Also make sure to add a pea size drop of anti-seize to the lugs or studs so the threads don't seize up on you. This coming from someone who changes his tires/wheels twice a weekend. Note I autocross
