At the risk of sounding stupid (which I do somewhat frequently...on alot of different fronts) I was wondering how many people used a torque wrench when installing their new wheels. I ordered some new wheels for my Si over the weekend from Wheelmax. Their wheel/tire packages come with an installation kit that includes hub centric rings...anyone used these on their cars before??

I've installed alot of spare tires in the past, but never any new, aftermarket ones that are intended to remain on the car. I obviously don't want to screw anything up during the removal of the OEM rims and the install of the new ones. Thanks for any advice.

MODS: Wasn't sure whether to post this in the DIY section or here.
