Proper Lug Torque for Alloys

Hi everybody, I just bought a set of these wheels and need to know what the proper Lug Torque for alloy wheels are on my 83 Spider.

Any help identifying the Model of BWA wheel I have would be greatly appreciated too. Thanks

I have always used 72 ft/lbs without problems on my Alfas.

I do not recommend using anti-sieze on the lug nuts (it alters the torque readings) but a light smear between the hub and mounting face of the wheel keeps things from corroding and sticking.
