Default How to torque new wheels?

Hi, so I'm in the process of getting some new wheels. However, I'm wondering about the torque spec on the lugs. Do I use the same spec as the factory wheels or is there a specific torque setting for any new wheel?

Should probably be the same as factory spec, so about 75 ft/lbs of torque. Stock or aftermarket lugs?

I know on gen2, the torque guide is listed at 76ftlbs and its probably same for gen 3 as well.

I would just sort torque to 80ftlbs given torque wrenches inaccuracy.
