I have always used 70 ft-lbs on alloy wheels without a problemHowever, I always use a little anti-seize on the nuts or bolts, which decreases the recommended torque setting by 20%. I use it sparingly, so maybe 10% reduction.
I don't know why anyone would not use anti-seize on their wheel bolts.

) I need to go out and check my wheels to make sure I've got them
torqued correctly.....I think I was using 75 ft/lbs but now unsure :

The factory shop manual is wrong, likely an incorrect conversion from
some obscure metric measurement like newton-hectares to proper ft/lbs.
I think it falls for only 43 ft-lbs which is downright dangerous.
I use 75-80 ft/lbs.
