Do I need new lug nuts only or both bolts and nuts?

I have the solution for this, you place a small piece some saran wrap around the lug between it and the socket head before tightening it. One small piece per lug reuse is tough. You can also buy a fu fu plastic lined socket for about thirty beans, use the saran it works perfect.
