Wheel Nut Wrench & Sockets

[Stinger GT SS]

I thought I’d share this, for those who have fitted aftermarket wheels you may need to check this so you don’t get caught out when it counts.
I fitted new wheels & I have discovered the the OE Wheel Nut Wrench wouldn’t fit & the new wheel nuts are now 19mm so I purchased these & they work great, the sockets in the plastic case are thin wall with nylon cover so not to damage the wheel in a tight fit.

Thought I’d bump this thread as it’s 3 years since I posted it & more & more owners are now running aftermaket wheels.
I pays to check so you don’t get caught out.

^^^First link good, second link bad.
Here are the tools I grabbed as O'Reilly's was about to close:

I bought some splined lug nuts to go with my aftermarket wheels and the socket that came with them fits the stock lug wrench (just checked to be sure). I've been spoiled with the previous 2 cars as I was able to buy aftermarket wheels that were specifically designed to use the stock lug bolts, so no need to have a second set.

One of these days, I will check to see if that "spline drive key" (who invents these terms?) fits the Stinger lug wrench. If it does, then it will be backup only: because that "+" lug wrench I've added to my emergency tools has a lot more torque capability.

This is what makes forums so great, information is easy to find and can date back many years. No other social media platforms that have come along have this.
