Dont forget to torque them in 20ft lbs increments in a star pattern up to 100lbs.

Try 750 lbs on the Enzo, since they have one BIG lug in the middle.
Ours are collectively 500 lbs,, which isn't too shabby

That's the correct final torque number. I do mine progressively, from 60, to 80 then 100.

I cheat a little: tighten them down with a regular socket then go 80 - 100. Not really much difference and I've had the wheels off of my car enough to know about where 50-60ft-lbs, and It saves some time.

What did you think....they were lying to you???? 100 ft/lbs has been a standard spec for most vehicles for years. Don't have a torque wrench,use a wobble stick with your impact.
Now the spec on oil capacity is wrong, it should read fill to top, then stop just before it overflows.
