Torque setting Question

Hi guys,

I have Alfugen wheels which came with my z4. They are 19" 8 1/2 in the rear and 19" 8 up front. How would I know what torque setting these require since they are aftermarket? Thank you.....

88 ft-lbs. The wheels don’t dictate tightening spec. The fasteners do.

My head.

All joking aside, almost all BMWs from the 1980s to the mid 2000s use the same wheel fastener and use the same tightening torque:
