torque specs are probably under 15 ft/lbs, just keep that in mind.
it would suck to break some bolts

No more than 17lbs. I'd say 17lbs with blue threadlock.

I second this

If you don't have experience doing this I wouldn't attempt this

It's your wheels afterall

Safety first

LOLX NAUGHTY NAUGHTY..:jerkit:

well so what is it.. i got 17lbs, 14 lbs, 24 lbs.. does it depend on the bolt or what..

i dont wanna make it too tight that will deform the mesh. cuz that would suck ass..

im actually gonna go to THE HOME DEPOT and get some high graded nuts and bolts.

so i guess im goin to 17.. its the median of the 3..lolx..ill keep u guys posted. thnx
