Ive put about 300 miles on my new rims and i was just looking at the reciept from the place that i had install them, and on it, it says after 50 miles you have to retighten all bolts. I never saw this and they never told me this. Who actually reads their reciepts, yeah know? So what do i need to do?

just make sure the lugs are still torqued to the correct spec.... 75-85 ft-lbs....

do you really need to ask us if you should do that. Common sense?

Every time I rotate my tires I'd tighten them up with a torque wrench to 80 ft/lbs. The next day or two with the same setting on the torque wrench I'd retighten all the nuts and always find that all of them are loosen up by a couple of ft/lbs. So it makes sense to retighten them after some driving.
