Answer: New wheels should be re-torqued after the first 50 to 100 driving miles. This should be done in case the clamping loads have changed following the initial installation due to the metal compression/elongation or thermal stresses affecting the wheels as they are breaking in, as well as to verify the accuracy of the original installation.
