Default Torque settings for UK STI 2007

Hi all, can anyone tell me the recommended torque settings for wheel nuts on a UK 2007 STI please.

I got the detailing bug from Matt & decided to clean the wheels but its taken soooo long just to do one I started at 6pm but its the wait between coats of Poorboys

Cheers Andy.

I tend to tighten all alloy wheel nuts to 65ft-lb, I think that's the recommended limit for most cars

Thanks Mark
I did do a search & found 65ft-lb mentioned a few times but wanted to check.

Yeah all your fault getting me interested again
I did my dads one as well so technically done two wheels. Doing some more this evening. How long do you leave between coats ? I was leaving mn 20 mins but usually it was half hour. Put three coats on
