I usually use a ratchet on these, roughly ~10 lb-ft of torque or so, and that seems to be enough to keep them on without cracking them.

I got tired of losing my black plastic covers and just bought a set of black Gorilla lug nuts. They hold up really well and do not scratch. I always thought the plastic caps were kind of hokey.
Of course I kept the originals and they are in a baggie in the garage.

Since the car is bone stock with only 8500 miles my goal is to keep it looking like it came from the factory. It still has the Delco battery and some the plastic on the insides. It's a long story about the history that save for the right forum. Thks again the socket with the cloth will do !

You'd think as a truck driver I'd have lug nut covers, but I like to show my nuts......both on my car, p/u, and semi truck. Mine are just dark grey plastic but if you want them, you're more then welcome to them. I'd be more then happy to mail them to you.
yeah man....just a little...enough to create some kind of resistance on the threads.
The plastic lugs wont move and when you take them off...the stuff will always be in there.
