Soft Socket for Lug Nuts

Just got a nice new set of Porsche lug nuts for my 82SC (in prep for the arrival of my Euromeister 17" Fuchs replicas).

What soft socket do you guys have to prevent scraping up the new (beautiful) lug nuts? I have read that the aluminum insert sockets are more durable than the nylon insert type but do they protect the lugs as well?

Thanks!

I use Saran Wrap on inside the socket.
