Default Lug nut torque

What is the appropriate torque for stock aluminum wheel lug nuts on the C6? I'm almost positive I've seen the answer somewhere on the forum, but darned if I can find it now.

100 lb.-ft. Glad you have a torque wrench to do it right.

Thanks for the quick reply; was checking the axle bolts and found one right on and the other a bit loose. Yeah, a good torque wrench is a must!
