Default Wheel Lugs

I'm in the process of switching out my exhaust but want to do an "Andreas" on the wells at the same time. The PO didn't give me all the tools. What size lug wrench do I need? Where can I buy a really good one?
TIA
Regards
Happy New Year to all my fellow inmates!

19mm. Consider buying a 'soft socket' with an aluminum insert. I've used this one since buying my 993 in '05.

Another option is the Impact socket set from Harbor Freight (I NEVER use them on an impact gun, just on my Gorilla Bar). They have a plastic sleeve on the outside to protect the wheels and the lugs can be touched up w/ permanent magic marker.

These

This way I have sockets that work on the BMW's too.

A trick is to use heat shrink on the full length of the socket.
