Wheel Lug Torque
This may be noted in the owner's manual, but seeing as how I'm still waiting for the car, I'll ask anyway....
I purchased some aftermarket wheels for my C320 and was wondering what the torque specifications are. I've been told 80 and 90...so i'm wondering what the correct setting should be.
Thanks!

I just checked my W203 manual
on one page it says torque to 80ft lbs (the general consensus on this board.. yes i've done the search)
..two pages before that it says torque to 110 ft lbs
