No, I was using a tq wrench at 12 ftlbs. There was barely any pressure applied on them.

some things just don't need to be torqued...

I can understand how some people may consider it unsafe but I have taken apart 4 sets of MR5s and put them back together using a regular socket wrench and doing it hand tight with absolutely no issues.
just get some lock tight and do them hand tight and they will hold up just fine

I have broken off a bolt in my flywheel before using stock torque specs
its kinda a win loose situation sometimes

I will vouch... The anniversaries were 6.5 inches due to the stepped lip on them...

I have wondered though if an MR5 center will fit on an M7 rim... Anyone ever tried that?

I know the bolts on my anniversaries came off with a socket wrench quite easily, and 2 of the 4 wheels had the remnance of what I assume was lock-tite.

Where do you even buy replacement wheel bolts?
