Question Correct lug torque!

I just got a new set of 20x8.5 Eagle 178 chrome wheels. Was about to re-install lugs.
2004 Screw 150 4x4 calls for 150 lbs of torque. Does that seem right to you guys?? Will that much crack the chrome. Dealer says use whatever the manual
says. Please respond, my truck is up on jacks!

That is what the owners manual states. As the OE wheels are aluminum and there is no problems with them and their paint at that torque, I would expect your chrome wheels will be fine.
