so if i bring it to some random place to install my wheels, do i assume they know this?

i had a 97 integra GSR and i installed some rims at this place local to me and they over tightened all my lugs by 10 lbs. when i tired to take them off and use my stock rims. i couldn't get the lugs off.. the guys at the shop told me whoever installed the rims b4 had over tightened and locked all the lugs.. 16 total. and i had to get all 16 lugs drilled out and replace the lugs on the rotors and by doing that also messed up rotors (warped)and my rims becuz of the drilling. therefore im goin to be careful when getting rims installed.. Before Any of u guys get ur rims installed. be sure to let them know the torque for ur lugs . jus a heads up some local shops dont know...
