Reading up on the places people have gone during ED, anyone install Wheel stud locks after delivery at the Welt for piece of mind?

I have heard a few things. When you check in you can ask them to install them for you to go to a local shop right by the Welt and have them do it to bring a torque wrench with you.

Is a torque wrench really needed for one out of 5 studs? I've never used a torque wrench on lug nuts in my life. I always just feel it out and have never had a single problem.

Since 4 will hold it on couldn't ya use the tire iron that comes with the car to quickly swap one out?

Edit: I just remembered this car doesn't have a spare or tools lol.

Yeah haha. With studs a torque wrench is ideal but a normal wrench can be fine. I mean you never really need a torque wrench I guess, but it definitely helps you have peace of mind
