What's the torque setting for wheels nuts?

Hello,

What torque setting do you use for the wheels nuts to make sure they are tight enough?

I think generally it's 110nm, that's what the tyre guy told me when I asked him what he tightened mine to.

Yes that was me at rising bridge, the car has now gone in for the bonnet to be repainted back to white, and I have had the ed30 wheels redone also, so Wednesday it will look all standard and less chavy.
