Probably a foolish question here but - do you really need a torque wrench to do up wheel nuts? I've always just guessed.

As long as your guesses are tight enough you'll be OK!

On sports racing cars in the '60s they used knock-off spinners tightened with a lump hammer, and they were doing 200mph down the Mulsanne.

On the other hand a cheap torque wrench is only about £15.
