Torque settings for wheel locks

Folks, just purchased McGard wheel locks for my 20" GLK wheels and looking for the proper torque setting for wheel bolts. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Not too tight not too loose. I always just tighten them as far as I can by hand and leave it at that. I'd recommend to unscrew all bolts tho, so you can re tighten them all again evenly following the "star" pattern.

Ed, i know what you are refering to, I can't tell you since I am out of town at the moment, but you're correct, there is a trq setting to set when tighting up the locks. Will try to find out for you.

Yep. The insert which came with my M-B wheel locks says 150 Nm (Newton meters) which converts to 111 lb-ft (pounds-feet). The Owner's Manual p301 says 110 lb-ft for lug bolts. No practical difference.
