yeah. If you have a Harbor Freight in your 'hood, they sell an automotive lug socket set for about $20 that has multiple sizes and have rubber sleeves on them to protect the wheel finish. I purchased on a while back and use it all the time. They also sell 1/2" drive breaker bars for dirt cheap that come in very handy for loosening lug bolts that are (always) overtightened by dealer techs.

(be sure and get Metric and not the SAE socket kit)
