Is it the same for all types of wheels - mine are magnesium. Sorry I should have been more descriptive!

It's listed in the owners manual. They only show the 100.

Some techy's I had over a few weeks ago told me that you should torque in three stages - 40, then 70, then 100. I assume you know how to tighten them in sequence - basically going across the pattern til you get all five.
