help scrathing my wheels!
 
Ok I bought me some work meister wheels. And every time I take the lug nuts out I scratch my wheels! Is there like some special lug nut socket you guys use? I also bought me some work lug nuts and I know for sure that shouldn't be the problem. Someone please help me on this one or give a solution for this.

I assume that your socket to wheel clearance is too small.
Why can't you get new lug nuts that are less wide?

To be honest never thought about less wider lug nuts. I will have to look into them. Pakitagan I did some research and that was one I find on the Internet. I aslo was told that they would dip the lug nut socket in plastic dip.

When you say "scratched", are you using an impact gun when removing the lug nuts? I hope you are removing and mounting your rims by hand.

Muteki Lightweight Tuner Lug Nuts SR48 Open End 12x1.25 48MM Neon - Part Number: 32905N - Sparktec Motorsports - Muteki

Here they are.
