Hi  

just bought some wheels for my mr2 and a torque wrench
would i be right in thinking that about 120 would be the correct setting?

No way, they should only be torqued to 76 lb ft, unless you are using some other scale of course.

76lb/ft = 103Nm - going to take a stab in the dark and say the OP was talking Nm too (IIRC 120Nm is Ford? 110Nm for common Vauxhall fitments)
