Wheel Torque Question

Does anyone know how much torque we need to put on our wheels?

I looked at Discount tire's torque chart but I wasn't sure if my car is using the 14mm bolt or "other"

<-- 05 C230SS stock 17" OEM wheels

I just changed my tires from worn out Pilot Sports to Pzero Nero M+S, I'll write a comparison summary in the next couple weeks if anyone is interested.

It is in your owners manual very clearly posted
