simple question; could someone tell me what these should be?

(have just refitted newly refurbished alloys and new Toyo Proxes - if anyone is in the Kent/ East Sussex area I throughly recommend Lepsons of Gillingham, first class service workmanship and prices, inc tyres. They will pick up and deliver on request for no additonal charge)
 
As I recall it's quite high, given they are aluminium. 120Nm rings a bell, but I'm sure somebody will be along shortly with the definitive answer.

 
Some series two manuals do state 130Nm and 94 Ft.lbs, but they have miscalculated their metric conversion. Series one manuals state 128 Nm / 94 Ft.lbs, which is correct. 94 Ft.lbs equates to roughly 127.5 newton metres, not 130 newton metres.

So: 94 Ft.lbs or 128 Nm, depending on your preference. [:D]
 
With alloy nuts (any alloy to steel stud occasion) ensure threads on stud are completely clean and use copperslip sparingly to avoid electrolytic action. Dirty threads can stretch/strip alloy threads and give a false torque reading.

If the alloy nuts have turned white (in all or part) change them.
