Default What torque for these wheels ?

I have magnesium wheels and I just got a pair of wagon wheels for my drag radials, what is the torque for the MAG wheels as I dont whant to damage them. Do they need the same torque ??
Many thanks

Alum. Wagon wheels are 100ftlbs, but not sure about the rare magnesium wheels. Probably the same. Read your owners manual for help.
