Does anyone know the lug nut torque rating for a 2007 Accord SE V6 Aluminum wheels?

How do I ensure the shop doesnt over tighten the lug nuts? Should they start them with a impact wrench and then hand tighten them to the spec'd Ft/Lbs Can somone plz explain

The shop should never put on or tighten lugs with air tools because the torque is inconsistent.

They need to be hand tightened to 80 lb.ft., but I've gone to 90 or even 100 with no problems.

Is it not frightening that your shop doesn't know how to do this? I'd take it to a different shop next time, this one sounds like its run by monkeys.

I've seen a few places using torque sticks on the impact guns, although I'm not sure how accurate they are.
