Actually you can use something called a 'torque stick' with an impact and 
that is NOT something that will damage the wheels.  

i think most people see greasy mechanic guys with an impact and they assume 
they are just putting the wheels on 'full force'.  i would highly doubt any 
tire shop is stupid enough to put a wheel on w/o a torque stick (which are 
available in 65lbs).  personally at home i have a mechanical torque wrench.
