ok so i have a set of 2 piece work rims that came on my car from japan, there a lil old school 15 inch but light as hell and want to refinish them for the track , therefore undoing every bolt all the way around and popping out the center, sandem paint em ... this is where im stuck
re-torqueing them !! i understand i should do it in a criss cross pattern but any recomendations on ft lbs? ive tried rim shops and work distributors and no one can give me an answer.
thanx for your time

dunno how tight your gonna have to go, criss cross pattern for sure though. try some of the japanese import forums, they usually run some weird rims and other such and should be able to help

which wheel is it... i don't know any other brand but the torque for multi piece BBS is usually about 21-27 lb/ft... best to get in contact with the manufacturer (if they're still around of course) and ask

please get new bolts too, one of those things you don't wnt to skimp out on
