Wheel bolt torque settings

Anyone know the torque setting for the wheel bolts on a Quadrifoglio?

from US site :

The Giulia uses 14mm wheel bolts, which call for a little more torque than the 12mm bolts used on all previous Alfas.

The workshop manual calls for 89 ft/lbs - I use 90 ft/lbs (120 Nm) as it's a round number within the margin of error for most torque wrenches.

The detailer removed the wheels to coat front and back as well as calipers (he also took the centre caps off and aligned them all to point at the valves. I thought I had OCD!). He suggested checking the bolts after a few miles but I forgot to ask what the torque setting was. Thought it would be useful to have on here too.

Always worries me when you try to use the locking wheel nut key to try and get to the same torque as the other hex headed bolts. The other Alfa's I've had were fine threads and would squeek as you got close to the recommended values. I usually dropped the torque value on those bolts by 10-15NM with no issues and that was on 2 cars in 17 years of combined ownership.
