How Do You Protect Your Expensive Lugs When Torqueing Them
I searched around the internet, and found some ideas (like using tape so the paint doesnt flake off them), but i was wondering what everyone does to protect their expensive lugs when putting them on and taking them off?

I got black gorilla lugs for my rims like 4 years ago, I even take them off and put them on with an impact... I don't wanna hear anyone saying "you shouldn't do that!!!!", because i do and it works fine
They are as black and shiny as the day i got them. If your having problems with them flaking then they are just low quality.

expensive + flaking = you got ripped off..
I have some aluminum annodized black lugs on the Jeep that I was going to use on the tib.. use hand tools without protection on the lugs.. removed and reinstalled 3-4 times now, still look great.
