Where to get plastic coated sockets?
My regular 19mm socket scratches up my rays lugs.. where can I get a plastic socket specifically designed for taking off lugs?

honestly, if you're pretty damn careful with regular chrome vanadium stuff... it won't... the edges might get a bit fucked... but a friend of mine sometimes uses like a thin mcdonalds like paper sometimes...
also you can buy that shit that you dip tools in, to make that rubber grip... and just do a thin layer...

Princess auto lists them in their catalog but I'm not sure if they have it in store.
Ebay or Harbour Freight etc...they are pretty easy to find online.

I always wrap my lugs in a plastic bag. I used it for my neo chromes last year to put them on and take them off. Not a single scratch
