Default Correct torque settings for ally wheel nuts ???

Hi does anybody know the correct torque settings for these as last night I changed my disks and pads all round but when it came to removing 1 of my wheels two of the b*****d's snapped and resulted in me having to smash it out with a hammer and various screw drivers and other tools :-(

As you can see it's not the greatest look and I would like to know what torque settings are recommended there at 110nm at the mo but I'm not sure if that's tight enough or to tight please help as I really don't want this to happen again :-(

Should be the same no matter if they are standard nuts or light weight nuts.... should put a bit of copper grease around the threads of the nuts to stop then seizing on (which sounds like what happened to your before if they snapped)
