Sears, Harbor Freight, Auto Parts stores and most any tool shop carry them. The factory lug nuts are junk and rust so I bought all new McGard chrome lug nuts. Very cheap and look good.

I get serious heartburn at the thought of $32.00 for a single lined socket ... major Vette Tax Violation ...

Another option - You can get a complete lined set from Summit Racing for the same price as this ONE socket from MA, and they also have outside nylon sleeves to protect the wheels as well. This appears to be a good quality set, and they're color-coded to make ID'ing each size in your toolbox easy.
