I got one from Napa for my 13/16" lugnuts.
I'll second that. Some lug nuts are too big to let any socket fit so be aware of that. My first set from O'Reillys had that problem. I got some that work from Pep Boys. They were in a box with 4 locks, 16 nuts, and 4 valve stems. Gorilla Wheel I think was the brand. Worked great.

I ordered McGard. They are triple plated chrome and garanteed never to chip, even when using an impact. Comes with locks, nuts, valve stems and thin walled sockets. Just hope the diameter isn't too large. It was either these or the Gorilla's but Gorilla didn't state they had a garantee not to chip or rust.
