Do you torque alloy wheels differently than steel wheels? I've been torquing my Superlites to what's in the manual for steel. So far the wheels haven't fallen off but it just dawned on me that it might be worth asking...:eek:

I pulled this off the Superlight website. I take it the measurements shown here are stud diameters and thread pitch, right?

Guess I should have looked this up first. DUH!:eek:
