Just had a call from a friend who wants to know what the correct torque would be for tightening the bolts of a set of EMPI five-spokes. Anyone help? Cheers!

For 8 spokes it's 25 ft/lbs. Not sure about 5's...

Rule of thumb.  Tight till they start stripping, then back them off a 1/4 of a turn.   Grin
