Really? I generally go 80 for the initial install and then re-torque at 85 after an initial test drive. After that I check them at 85 pretty regularly (esp during a track weekend), but it's rare any of them move at 85 again. Sometimes 1-2 move a little before clicking on the 2nd re-torque, but never more than that. This is cone-type aftermarkets on aftermarket wheels, though, maybe that makes a difference.
