A simple search might also tell ya. The wheels i've taken apart usually require about 86lbs or so, these were Enkei Racing S and my current Works

as much as i google.. noone gives straight answers. most people always tell people to search.. but no one rarely posts numbers. And the manufacturer is no help..lowenhart that is. but i think i can handle it.. preciate it!

Whooaa then you've never taken a wheel apart!! 86lbs is for lug nuts or lug bolts NOT wheel bolts. Wheel bolts are 12-15 lbs/ft.

You might be right. It's been a while since i've done these. I believe my Works were actually 25lbs/ft

Wheel bolts are typically 6mm to 8mm in diameter and you don't want to go over 20 lbs/ft with the largest.

Not when you don't have any fingertips left from sanding down lips and polishing each individual bolt I could of committed a crime with no gloves and not left a trace. Super smooth

Stick each bolt into a drill and shove it into a polishing wad.

I did. Eventually ended up using a sock and all kinds of other microfiber towels. On my Works at least. Wasn't that smart my first time around. Still came out with some pretty beat up fingertips. They heat up REALLY quick on that drill lol

Nothing says you can't keep a cup of cold water handy too cool them off while polishing.
