ETC spike question

[motegi]

Before I make permanent marks on my wood floor by installing the ETC spikes for my new Vistas I was wondering what if any products are available to "cap" the spikes yet still allow them to couple with the floor.

Does anyone make tiny metal thimbles to put over the spikes? I've seen a company that makes $300 carbon/ball bearing pads to be placed under components but they seem a bit excessive.

My Infinity Modulus I satellite stands have similar screwed-in style spikes that I've capped using small furniture foot pads but this is probably not the most elegant solution.

OregonDV, a company that makes speaker spikes, also sells metal "pads" to protect your floors from the sharp points. They are availabel in black or gold, and are $2.00 each (plus shipping).

I have the same problem although I already have spike marks in the wood floor (and didn't want to make them any worse)
I just ordered some spike shoes form the UK (I live in Canada) After searching the web, these seem to be pretty good and I wanted black.
