How are you going to torque them? Did Work give you the specs? I know Volk doesn't.

^^ yep Volk or no one that even sells volks will tell you info, good thing I marked them in back before I took them off , plus only specialties tire places can mount them and make sure they balanced right. It took me for ever to make sure it goes where they need to , they drive fine at 100 no shaking so I'm all good . I hope lol

I would call vrwheels.com or you can try wheelflip.com. They specialize in rebarreling and restoring a lot of JDM wheels. VRwheels actually does a lot of Work and Ray's wheels so that's where I would start

Tighten one until it breaks, and then do the rest a little less. It's the answer to everything.
