Default Got a couple questions..

1. How much should I torque aftermarket wheels? I do believe I got SplineDrive Cone Seat Lug Nuts from D2 but not 100% sure.

2. How much should I expect to fork out to take out TPMS from stocks, install on new rims, install tires on those, and bolting them all?

3. Anyone got recommendations in Socal to do all this?

4. Falken Fk452 reliable enough to not blow out for non-stretching applications?

Thanks in advance!

i dislike the falken tires for the most part, so I'll not say much, but torque value should be same as stock, which I believe is 76 ft-lb

I thought we were supposed to torque it higher because the OEM Lexus lugs were efficient? It was something like 100% seated on the studs?

No, torque number is derived from how much pressure is needed to hold the rotor in place evenly and the maximum pressure the stud itself is designed to take...
