Have any of you experienced having your lugs tightened so much at that the pain in the wheel's lug holes is rubbed off? Or is that standard behavior?

 

I don't quite understand what your saying. paint? in the lug holes? my wheels are pollished with clearcoat and inside the lug holes have scuffs from the sockets from them turning inside them

 

Sounds like he's saying the paint got rubbued off? Doesn't seem like that would have anything whatsoever to do with how tight the nuts are. I'd just use a torque wrench and set it at 85 ft-lbs, set it and forget it. If the paint rubs off so be it, you need to have the wheels secured to the car no matter what.

 

Yeah, that's what I meant, thanks I just thought that the reason the scuffing occured because the lugs were overtightened. I was just wondering if that happened with everyone's wheels.

 

You could get Mcguard splinedrive lugs. The base of the lug nut is stationary whil the rest of the lug rotates. But it's too late anyway, it's just paint.
