I can see the argument that the torque spec is a dry one, since there's no mention of the use of lubricant with the torque value. But, I gotta think anti-seize is a must. The sound that those aluminum lug nuts make when they're dry against the lug seat is just plain sickening.

I think i'm sticking with the use of anti-seize. Those who disagree should consider the consequences of a seized/stripped lug nut on your precious Fuchs wheels. It's not a pretty sight and not easy to get the sheared lug out. The end result is a damaged wheel and a damaged wheel stud since your only alternative for removal is the dreaded hammer and chisel method.
