Problems with wheel nuts

I have Motegi M7 wheels and the bolt holes are very small and everytime I remove or tighten the nuts with the special socket that came with the wheels, it scrapes the inside of the holes and peels off the clearcoat.

Has anyone else had the same problem?

hmmm i hope you got the right wheel to fit your car! is your car a 2.5 or 3.2? 2.5 has a bolt pattern of 4x114.3 and 3.2 is 5x114.3. see if your wheels can fit that bolt pattern, if not....return it or sell it

Sorry, I didn't explain my problem well. My wheel fits the studs okay, but the holes for the nuts are very small and the nuts require a special socket to tighten them. Because the socket wiggles a bit, it scrapes the paint when tighten the nuts.

I hope this is a bit clearer.
