Default I use Husky from Home Depot (1/2 inch drive or 3/8 inch drive will do)

I actually have both. 3/8 inch goes from 20 - 100 ft/lbs of torque and the 1/2 goes from 50 - 200 ft/lbs(I think its 200). Anyway, they are about $70. You will need a socket extension for either of them (any torque wrench) or you will not have enough room.

Yea, it's 91. But they usually have 80 or 100. And they like to go high. ;-)

Default Oh, and our stock lugs are 17mm.

SOoyou will also need a 17mm socket (either 1/2 inch or 3/8 inch depending on what torque wrench you buy).

Default Champion RS128's

Only pic I have so far. But I'll more after the Autofair this weekend. I'm LOVING them. Forged. Super light, it's amazing. When I lifted the tire and wheel off the ground, all I could really feel was the weight of the tire. Amazing.
