Default Protective Lug Nut Socket

I remember seeing a socket with a plastic insert that would not booger up shiny new lug nuts, but I don't remember where I saw it. Does anybody know where I can get one of these guys? Thanks.

I think this is what you might be looking for. Not cheap but they look like they will work

Got one from Mid America. $30! but it works great. Don't let the fact that it is metric sized throw you off. Fits perfect.

Actually, haven't seen it in their last couple catalogs(they send out so many) but I asked about it and they had em.

Try part no. 112-058
