Robin,
Alcoa torque is 140ft/lb. Would guess that Eagles are the same. Only time mine have ever been torqued is when America's Tire installs new ones or rotates.
I don't have a torque wrench so I just make 'em goodentight with my 16" handle lug wrench.. Have never lost a wheel on the GMC or any other vehicle in many+ years of driving.

At least 125, not more than 140. Howz'at? My 78 has 16" steel wheels. GMC
Shop manual says 250. Thread chart for Grade 8 9/16" diameter threaded
fasteners is 85. Go figure.

The fact that the Alcoa and Amer.Eagle lug nuts hahe a washer that allows
the nut to spin with less friction unlike the original with a fixed
washerthat is larger diameter.
When you torque it by hand, you will feel it maxing out.
First time on a new aluminum wheel is important to do it right as the
aluminum can settle in at times.On customers coach we use a torque wrench
to firm them up.
Majority of the tire shops over torque then go around to make sure they got
all to specified torque. More of a show , as they have no time to get it
right on and difference between 125-150 0n a wheel is not critical when you
have 8 per wheel that hol
