I also have a set of these impact rated sockets designed specifically for wheel nuts which work well and protect your wheel paint and the wheel nuts if anodized or chromed nuts etc.

These impact rated sockets are essential if using a DIY impact wrench (such as the various automotive 12 volt models) to remove very tight wheel nuts which is a common problem. They fit your other half inch components in your socket set you might want to use like your extension bars. I also use these sockets with the torque wrench and a short extension bar to set the wheel nut torque.
No need to buy a whole set. Kincrome also have these available individually so if you want one you should be able to just buy the size or sizes you want by special order.
