ROTA TRACK R 15" ???
whats the weight i need to tighten it to?

80lbs is the standard. Be sure to re torque them down after about a week of driving though. You wouldn't want to lose a wheel on the highway or something.

alright,

is 80lbs hard to un screw??
after comming back from the mechanic unscrewing my lugs need super man muscles , its so irritating.
after i got my wheels balanced the mechanic tightened my lugs super tight! ... i had to use a cross shaped wrench with my feet to take it off,

does 80lbs take THAT much effort to unscrew??

You can always use a cheater bar like a long piece of tube for more leverage to loosen them.
You shouldn't have to to stand on a lug wrench to loosen your lug nuts.

80 isn't that bad. When mechanics tighten it back up, they'll almost always use air tools. That's why it's hard to loosen them up.

alright cool man

good shit getting track r's

80 lb ft torque is good enough. if it was super tite slap your mechanic. make shure they dont tighten it down with a air impact. unless they use torque sticks



usualy the blue ones ate 80lb ft torque for a 19mm lug.
