Default Where can I get a lug wrench that won't ruin my black lug nuts?

I would love to find a 4-way lug wrench that had some kind of rubber innard that wouldn't tear up my black powdercoated lug nuts. We currently have a regular lug wrench, but it scratches up the lug nuts pretty damn bad. Am I being too **** or is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks guys!

Spray your lug wrench with bed liner or if you have an impact wrench they sell sockets for them that have nylon inserts. I've never seen a four way lug wrench with those liners though. The bed liner should do the trick

I was wondering this too after I got my black wheels. I have been trying to think of something to put inside the sockets, bed liner or rubber spray should do the trick though like Marrow SS said.
