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.
Within reason it's probably more important to have them all the same than the actual value, that said if you are using a torque wrench anyway I always use 90 ft/lb which is 122Nm.
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.
