I always just snug down the lugs really good. I just had my car aligned front and rear for 79 bucks after tax at a Goodyear service center.

Well if you have not gotten your car alligned lately. I might concider it so you do not get premature wear on your brand newe tires. As far as torquing your new wheels. I wouldn't really worry about that. The only thing to remember here is some alluminum wheels need to be re-seated after a couple hundred miles. Just my .02
