They will.
My regular tyre shop does that when requested.
Hmm that's very good then, where is it?

partly also due to poor quality of replica nuts....
But as you mentioned earlier, unless specifically remind, impact wrench all the way macam feeling like machine gun (don't know why this give the technicians the kick, already to the limit, still want to tekan further).
Hardly anyone used torque wrench unless really critical parts on the engines. Its really a hassle to torque in down manually as need to torque down few times.
Other wise, just keep the OEM nuts.
Yes oem nuts might not be pretty but they get the job done reliably. However not all aftermarket rims can use oem nuts! For example my Rays can only use the slim nut type so no choice but to replace the oem nuts with slimmer ones.I still chose the steel type, cross fingers they can still last. 😓 Been looking for original Rays nuts but used and reasonable prices but still cannot get yet.

That is interesting. Do they practise the "star" pattern when torquing the nuts?
I overheard one workshop worker telling his apprentice to keep on tightening with the pneumatic wrench, so that the wheel does not drop off when driving.
I saw one workshop worker used manual wrench to further whack the wheel nuts after using pneumatic wrench because "pneumatic wrench is not powerful enough".
Yes they practice the star/cross pattern when opening and tightening.
Yeah crazy dumb ass! That's why I always watch them so keep reminding them not to over tighten. I keep telling them if they over tighten then I cannot open later if got puncture.
