Hey my350,

do you guys have an suggestions on what to do so when your installing your wheels/lug nuts to not scratch the finish of your expensive lug nuts ie: rays, work, ect...)?

I've heard of a socket that has a plastic liner so it doesn't scratch your lug but i can't seem to find them. Would wrapping them in painters tape work?

Thanks!

 

Try Snap On plastic liner socket for wheel lugs.

 

^ would you have a part #?

 

i found this one.....

Always install and remove them by hand, then realize that chicks really won't look at the condition of your lugs, hell most won't even know if you have different wheels or not.

 

Scratches on lug nuts? Is it reallly worth the effort?

 

real ? is are lug nuts worth 500$ like some of them.

 

I'm sure you can find a solution for when you do it, but what about when you take the car to a shop or for inspection? I'm sure they arent going to be gentle with your lugs. I'd be more concerned with your wheels.

 

that question is like asking if you can take a shower and not get wet.

 

You're absolutely right, which is why I always take my car in for inspection during mid-march when I still have my winter wheels on.

 

This is a valid question. Some of those rays lugs are pretty damn expensive and are coated aluminum, which is very soft.

 

maybe if he's trying to pick up guys that are as **** about their car as he is.

 

Haha, glad I'm not the only one that does that. I actually go in for inspection today.

 

maybe not everyone buys and mods a car to pick up chicks

 

I thought that was the reason people spend thousands on their cars
