Default socket for lug nut

Happy 4th All,
So, being a rainy 4th here, I was going to pull a couple wheels and prep the rotors for paint. However, looking at the lug nuts, I don't have a socket type for these "Tuner splined" lug nuts. Anyone know the size?
BTW, They were required for the Bralin wheels

Looks very similar to the nuts that came with the Mille Miglia wheels I bought from TireRack.com ~10 years ago for my Lexus. They came with a special socket, that fit those grooves.

Ken,
PM Richzak - he will know since he was the source for the Braelin wheels for XKRs with Alcon brakes.

Thanks Stuart, will do.
Picked up 1200 Degree paint today. So, I'm armed and dangerous....with paint on hand.

Same lugs you can buy at Pep Boys/Autozone/Advance/ORielly's type auto parts stores. It's a tuner spline drive lug socket. I have three of them. You can get them there. They are standard and all the same.

I have them on my Senta wheels. Same size as a 1990 Toyota Celica.

Ken:

Here's the socket I use to remove the spline lug nuts on the Braelin wheels.

This is what I have to remove them:

MCGARD 8 SPLINE DRIVE SOCKET FOR TUNER STYLE LUG NUTS

Available at Amazon.....

Amazon.com: McGard 65300 SplineDrive Installation Tool - 13/16" Hex Size: Automotive Amazon.com: McGard 65300 SplineDrive Installation Tool - 13/16" Hex Size: Automotive


Hope this helps.
