06 Wheel Lug Nut Torque

I've looked through the owners manual, but can't find it. Does anyone know what the lug nut torque is for OEM aluminum wheels?

Actually if you look in the service manual it states 165 Ft/lbs, however the owners manual states 150 Ft/lbs.

I went with 150. I think that is probably good enough. Another 15 lbs probably wouldn't hurt anything, but even 150 seems like a lot of torque on aluminum wheels. I know steel wheels can handle whatever you can put on them, but I'm always scared of busting an aluminum wheel from over-torque on the lugs. Thanks for looking it up.
