got a problem, I NEED SMALLER LUGS! help!

i just got these wheels, 18x9.5 drifz venom, and the stock lugs and even the lugs they sent me are to big to fit in the lug hole in the wheel. i cant fit a socket around them to tighten them. someone please tell where i can get the right lugs for these wheels that will fit the firebird studs. u would think that they would send me lugs with the wheels that actually fit, but there ****ING STUPID! but anyways, any help?

Maybe what you need is a special lug wrench. I googled Drifz Venom wheels, and found this note on a site that sold them:
Warning your factory lug wrench does not work on custom wheels!

Ask your sales rep about our custom wheel lug wrench. Fits on all custom wheel types. Brings 2 thin wall sockets, telescopic wrench extends to 21" and a storage pouch.

Google: Gorilla, small diameter tuner lugnuts.

FYI, I know Summit caries them.

I had to put the splined tuner type lugnuts on my Halibrand wheels. It wasn't a matter of a thinwall socket as the chrome lugs I had on my ZR1 wouldn't even come close to fitting in the hole. The tuner lugs came with a small socket to fit the hole.
