Using a torque wrench

How much .lb of torque do you guys apply when putting back on your wheels? My shop set mine at 80lb... and it's viberating like crazy on the highway. Do you think it is overtorqued?

same here 80ftlbs
Then i take my car for a quick spin and check them again.
Then after about 30 miles Ill give them one last check. If none of them are loose Im good to go.
