Default 3-piece wheel torque specs?

I have a set of Fikse FM-10s for the S4 that I took apart and am ready to put back together but am looking for torque specs to tighten down the bolts. I know to tighten them down very lightly at first in a star pattern and gradually get tighter (also using loc-tite), but don't know what torque to tighten them down to. Supposedly Fikse won't give them out for liability reasons. Anyone have any experience with this? Or even other 3-piece wheels for that matter that will give me a ballpark of what to tighten them down to? TIA!

Default Well that wasn't very smart.

You'll need a micro torque wrench for one. CCW Classics, iirc, spec is 15nm. With that said, CCW =! Fiske. I'm not responsible if you torque them to 15nm and end up with a catastrophic failure.

Search P-car forums like Rennlist and 6speedonline.

Tighten until you feel them start to strip, then back off a quarter turn.

Default depends on the bolt specs, material, size . . .

iirc the specs for the shoulder bolts on the STaSIS floating rotors were 9 nm/7 ft lbs. I'm sure I'm wrong but it was a fairly brittle steel bolt into a not so brittle rotor.
