Need wheel torque specs
Since your MC is an '06, the correct torque setting will depend on the build date of your car (specifically, it depends on whether your car has the new 14mm fine-pitch lugbolts or the older 12mm coarse-pitch lug bolts).
The build date cutoff was in mid-July 2006, and the difference isn't mentioned in the owner's manual or any of the other documentation. You can find the build date listed on a sticker on the driver's doorjamb.
If you have the 12mm bolts, the correct torque value is 88 lbf-ft. With the newer 14mm bolts, it's 102 lbf-ft.

Excellent information...
This is excellent information thanks! My build date was early July 2006 so I'm guessing I have the old style, but I'll double check to make sure. In any event, I'm sure no matter what I do it will beat the heck out of going and having someone use an airwrench on it until they died!
Thanks for your help guys!
