Default Torque for wheels

I'm getting my WCC chromies put on this weekend, and wonder what I should tell the tire shop to torque the lugs to? Also, should I have them retorqued at any particular time?

Anyone know?

The stock aluminums were 100 ft lbs. Don't know what the chrome should be. Recheck torque after the first 100 mi. and then again periodically (usually once a month for me) after that.
