2000 Corvette lug nuts
This might be a stupid question but here goes anyway. I'm no mechanic guys but was hoping to take the wheels off of my 2000 convertible. I was told all I needed was an 19mm 6point deep socket. Well I got the plastic cover off with the 19mm socket but what I saw after that I have no idea. I've never seen a lug nut like that before. What do I need to get the wheel off? A special tool perhaps?

Wheel lock looks funny, the key should be in a recess in the left compartment, in the back. Remove the lid and there is a little recessed area to the front and right side at the top.
