Noob lug nut question

Hello guys... I really have a noob question on how to get the lug nut out of the rims. I have an rota svn and the lugs nuts are small that i cant get my regular t-wrench to fit inside the tiny hole. ( no pun intended). Im afraid that if i get a flat i would have no choice but to tow the car instead changing it to spare my self. u guys know what after market socket would fit in there. Also any recommendation on after market extended lug nut.

You need a special socket/key for aftermarket wheels. If you're not sure what type, just take your car to a wheel shop. They should be able to set you up with one. Not sure on the cost though. Might be in the $50 range.

You probably have 17mm lug nuts. If they aren't wheel locks, any thin wall socket will do.
Doorman makes a purpose built tire iron for your exact scenario and there are probably others out there.
