Question, what do I set the torque settings to when I install the lugs? Also, on my Integra my colored anodized lugs came with a special socket that had some type of thin rubber compound to prevent scratching the lugs. Anyone have any ideas what I can use to prevent scratching my new lugs?

Torgue to 88 ft*lbs

I have never seen lug bolt sockets that protect the lugs themselves only this style.

And upon more searching, not an ideal solution, but check out post 18.

After searching it seems like people said I can use painters tape, electrical tape and even a plastic bag?!

Isn't painter's tape a paper based product? I'd feel more confident with 1 or 2 rounds of electrical tape - not too soft and shouldn't get destroyed in the process therefore easy to peel off afterwards.

Yes, leave them in the box they came in

Sorry, couldn't resist... they are, granted very beautiful, but at the day, just wheel lugs, no absolute perfection is necessary or possible long term in my opinion. Just make sure torque is set up right, handle with care and enjoy the new look.

Yeah don't worry about scratching them & don't use any protection over them while torquing them, it might not give u the exact reading therefore make it dangerous.

Safety first, no one will pay attention to the scratched up lugs that much.

Torque for the wheel bolts are 140 Nm, or 103 ft-lbs.

Good catch!

F10/11 uses a M14 lug as opposed to a M12.

Put a condom on the lugs for protection I couldnt resist. But seriously I would use the blue painters tape, electrical tape is too thick if you wrapped it a few times. Don't worry about the tape messing up the torque, it's not going to make a difference if it's off by a pound or two and I really don't think it will affect the torque anyway. As far as the torque specs you should ask the wheel company what they recommend them to be at. My forgestars came with mounting instructions that included torque specs @ 100ftlbs, I'm sure its gonna be close to that or a little more like remmib said.

Edit: ask the peeps who sold you the lugs what to use to keep them from getting scratched during the install.

Here's a shot of what a 255 looks next to a 295:

Very glad I went with the Matte Antique Bronze finish than the Brushed finish as the brush is more brighter.





Here's Brush:
