Alloy wheel torque settings

Trying to find the torque settings for my wheels after replacing my hubs etc
I do have the setting somewhere but can't find it
this is my hymer alloy rim

This is a useful site - https://www.puretyre.co.uk/tyre-information/tyre-pressures/car-manufactures/

You would check under Ford (I think yours is?) rather than Hymer.

been trying that David it was my first port of call
think I have data sheet in van but it's blowing a gale and sleet the now

Been 8bto that one David but it appears to be steel only rims

That site for a Transit quotes 200Nm. Does that sound wrong then? (I know it doesn't list your tyre size but the Torque is tyre-independant)

Does it vary? Getting the torque right is more important on Alloys due to risk of damage but still the same value I think?

I've set them at 110 just now thanks for your help/ interest

Had my alloys on for over 7 years now and never use a touque wrench on them yet just do it by feel .

Steel wheel rim 200nm
Alloy wheel rim. 180nm
