Default How to not scratch wheels putting lug nuts on?

I'm considering painting the centers of my Torque Thrust II's. Is there a socket or trick I can use not to scratch the paint putting the lug nuts on?

They make some pretty thin sockets I've come across a few sockets i get with some wheel sets we get at work that are pretty thin. Other option is a 3/8 drive socket there usually really thin as well.

Put electrical tape around the socket.
