Thanks again!

Why would you grind things when you can get longer. better looking, lugnuts and be done?

I think he's talking about grinding down the walls of a socket so he can get the standard nuts off, to remove the wheels.

I ordered a set of those off FeeBay. That way if i ever get these off
i am not putting same crappy ones back on.
Thanks again!

And yes, looks like i will be grinding socket sides down to get it over the
nut. What a nightmare this dude caused by putting the stock lugnuts
on these nice rims

There's a socket out there somewhere. He didn't put em on with needle noses.

What about a box spanner like you get with mowers and strimmers. Very thin walled and should fit and use a socket on the other end if like this one.

There ya go 'Cartmaster' above has the ticket, if you know anyone with a Polaris RZR or a 4 wheeler Can-Am etc those come in the tool kit as a spark plug socket. That should fit and slip a socket on the other end to drive it

Spark plug socket should work without grinding

A box spanner, i have not tried that! Ok, now i do have another option before
the grinder gets fired up.
