Wheel socket to prevent wheel damage
Does someone make a protected socket so that it doesn't scare up the area around the lugs when removing and reinstalling the Track rims?

Wrap it in electrical tape
Just wrap your socket or wrench in a layer of electrical tape.

I was hoping for a socket I could carry to the dealer so they don't screw mine up. I know Groit's sells a set.

I successfully used the Griot's socket through a dozen or so wheel changes. HIGHLY recommended!

What size is needed? I'll probably go this way.

Posted on other thread, but take one and wrap it in electrical tape. I've been doing it for years and it works great.

Griots set #77145, 3 piece Metric, is only
$36.95.
As I said, well worth it. Their interior cleaner is also very good.
