Is there a general torque standard that you use when bolting the face of a wheel to a barrel?

Looking at buying some used multi-piece wheels... Everything is in good shape except for the paint. I would want to remove the face plate and paint it seperately from the barrel. Obviously... I want to bolt them back together, but the company who made the wheel doesn't seem to know anything about it anymore. (It's a pretty old wheel.) I would trust BBS 3 piece spec's... but I have no clue what those are either. Anyone know? Thanx!

 

BBS RM bolt torque is 12-15 lb/ft
BBS RS bolt torque is 40 lb/ft

 

Well, thats quite a spread... that sucks.

Hmmm... I have no clue what to do now. Hah.

 

edit- what size bolt and does it have a nut or thread into the wheel?

Wow. Awesome...

I don't actually have the wheels in my possesion at the moment... so I can't get the material and bolt size for you at the moment. But when the time comes, this chart should help...

Good times... thanx guys.
