Lug Nuts for my 20's

Hello. I had my 20's on last season and I am in the process of putting them back on soon. Here is the problem. The holes are so damn small that when I take my wheels on and off I scratch the inside of the wheel. Can anyone recommend lugs that I should use so I dont mess up my wheels anymore. Also please provide me with the size i need to buy.. Thanks guys.

Either a specialty deep socket (Snap On) or try the place you bought your wheels for their advice. I got a deep socket so I would have more clearance between the wheel and the ratchet when I'm taking my wheels on and off.

Go with some tuner lugs. It also depends on the rims you have too

If you scratch the wheel with the socket then wrap a thin layer of electrical tape around ther socket so it won't scratch. I learned the hard way, my original wheels got scratched to all h*** by the installers, 6 or 8 months later I had new rims (looooong story behind all that, but that's how it started) I was at the LA autoshow and a guy was taking a huge wheel off a Bentley and I noticed he wrapped his socket with tape, I asked him about and hes said it's the only way to go...
