[Alpines] Wire wheel torque

[Steven L. Finberg]

How do you plan to measure the torque? 
Be happy with the hammer, check its tight after a mile or so..

Be sure to clean and grease the spline before torquing.

 I have a 1967 Series V, with wire wheels with knockoffs. From the        
owners handbook I gather that the spec for tightening them is "whack     
them a bunch with the lead hammer". I would rather have something        
measured in lb-ft. What numbers are people using to torqu on their       
wheels?
