What a disparity on a torque specs for a simple wheel!
Kind of scary if you think about it. :)
I've never used a torque wrench on a wheel-yes I'm probably on borrowed time...

One of the biggest reason for torquing wheel studs is so you get an even tighting and don't warp the rotors.
I still use a torque wrench on mine.

Okay, I'll ask:
Has anyone here ever LOST a wheel cuz the lugnuts were too loose??
Has anyone here ever broken a wheel or stud because the lugnuts were too tight?
What was it we were worried about??
