Thin walled sockets with the protective layer on the outside are the best.

if you can't find a rubber coated one, I use a craftsman deep impact socket (black in color) and it does not scratch any of the wheels I have used it on.

Some tape around a standard metal socket does the trick for me.

BINGO! masking tape (pick your favorite color), electrical tape, duct tape, all of them work just fine.
