80 lb-ft.
No more, no less.
Make sure to clean and lube the wheel studs with anti-seize compound periodically if you change wheels often.

It's not going to feel tight at all if you're using a long torque arm (a.k.a. huge wrench).

for Wheels u really dont need a torque wrench.. however on engine, suspension, and anything else you dont feel warm and fuzzy with i would not recomend using your calibrated elbow

...tell that to my boss at the shop im at...a kid there didnt properly torque the wheels and the fell off and f'd up the car...then he did it again the next week
All Hondas 1990+ should be torqued to 80 ft/lbs, even Acuras (Minus one Acura which is 90 but i dont remember which)
Not properly torquing your wheels can cause one of two issues, 1. wheel falls off while driving if undertorqued 2. break a stud because it was overtorqued
save yourself a lot of trouble and torque your wheels to the right spec

perfectly said. its definitely a good idea to torque them right. Ive never had the undertorqued experience, but i traded for a car that had a few overtorqued lugs and guess what happened when i changed the wheel? SNAP, there they went. 80 ft/lbs and you are good

My car currently only has 3 wheels because of not torquing my lugs to the right spec... The other day my wheel started vibrating on the highway. I got off to check them and tighten them, once I started to try and tighten them 1 lug w/ the nut snapped right in half. So I drove to my friends house down the road, then attempted to take the other 3 off to see what the problem was and just so happened to snap the 3 remaning lug studs right in half. So now I gotta change out all the lug studs on my driver side front wheel just because of my dumbass mistake.
