I have the two assembly aids, but do Porsche technicians use a velvet wheel brace to mitigate damaging the bolt circles (other than the obvious answer of be careful)?

This may sound naive but the wheel bolts are not hidden under the centre caps so I want to avoid any obvious blemishes, as I have spotted this on some Porsches.

I suppose I should also google the torque rating of said bolts...

You mean the assembly aids?

Mine doesnt have ceramics unfortunately, but I bought the aids anyway so I wouldnt need to faff about with the alloy in one hand and the bolt in the other.
