AMG Multi-piece Style IV Bolts torque

A friend of mine disassebled his Style IV wheels to spray the centres Titanium, like the SL65.
Does anyone know what torque he should apply to the titanium TORX bolts around the rim when he re-assembles the wheels?
The re-finished centres are coming back tomorrow so please help him stay connected to his rims...

depends on the weather
#1.) those bolts are designed to be torqued only once and need to be replaced
#2.) the torque spec is only available from the wheel manufacturer. try contact HRE to see if they can tell you the spec they use
#3.) it is highly probable that he will not be able to get the wheel back to gether correctly

all in all what he did was a very bad idea

I could not agree more! They tried to put the wheels together and torque up the titanium bolts: snapped one bolt already!
As they said, do not try this trick at home, these people are trained professionals...
