Proper wheel torque?

What is the proper amount of torque to apply to your lugs?

i dont see a point if you are torquing them right, but people say do them at a cris-cross pattern at 80lbs.

so pick one, then do the one across from it.

i know that not tightning all the lugs to the same specs will warp the rotor because of the imbalance.
