After 850 miles, I just checked the torque on the lug nuts of my WRX—all were below Subaru's spec of 58-72 ft-lbs (except the locking lug nuts that came with the car, which were at least 70 ft-lbs). All the nuts were around 50, which is where the torque wrench stopped clicking; it clicked at the values I checked that were lower than 50.
Subaru says to check the lug nut torque 600 miles after changing a wheel, but you might want to check yours at whatever mileage you have just to make sure they're tight. I didn't check the wheel torque when I took delivery of the car, so I don't know if the lugs were torqued to spec then or not.
