Help with REMOVING LUGS!

Hey guys ,
I am having a hard time finding the tool to remove the lug bolts on my wheels. I am probably being stupid and there is an easy fix but I have extended motorsport hardware lugs that came on the car, but I did not receive the tool to remove them. My brake pads are shot and I need to get these off pronto before something bad happens. These are the lugs http://motorsporthardware.com/produc...extended-nuts/
Its different from what im used to because it looks like an allen key in the middle and a torque on the outside. Please no hate if this is a dumb question. Thanks for the help

it says to use a 19mm socket. so you'll need that and the wrench. a breaker bar or impact gun would make things easier.

I use a deep well socket and a 2 ft breaker bar for mine. ~90 ft lbs comes off like butter.

You do not need, and really shouldn't use an impact on your wheels. It's just too easy to strip the head or cross thread the lugs. Also if you don't have one yet, get a cheap torque wrench to torque the lugs back down when you're done.
