22mm Titan lug nut socket. NICE!
Received my 22mm lug socket and I'm very happy. It is 6" long and weighs about 2 lbs. The quality looks real good. There was a question if it would hold up to 140ft lb and I think it will be no problem!

Just making sure: Is this because the lug nuts on the C8 are metric??

Very little. It is easier to use without a short extension compared to a regular length deep socket or standard length socket.
Ill probably get one. just like having a lot of tools. When my father passed he had 21 ea. 1/2" 3/8 drive sockets. You have got to be prepared.

Is 140 ft/lbs the torque for the C8 lug nuts? That is a lot of torque.

Yes, that is the correct lug nut torque for the C8. See Ask Tadge reply on this: Change in lug nut size and wheel torque

Yup I got one of those sockets also. I was not sure that my Harbor Freight torque wrench was up to the task. My friend gave me his 4 foot long $800 torque wrench that he bought to pull wheels on his Porsche GT3RS that had a single center hub. The large nut had to be torqued to 600 ft lbs. I should have no trouble torquing the C8 wheels to 140 ft lbs.
