There is one thing that wasn't mentioned here explicitly. I'd take the wheels off and clean all the lumps of tire rubber off the inside of the wheel. I see this all the time (more when running with the Corvette Club!), and it can lead to wheels/tires that seem to be out of balance. Since they are already off, I clean the insides of the wheels and put a little car wax on to help keep the dust from sticking as much next time.

You need a torque wrench and torque values (see Robin's site for those).
