So true, but all my cars have an extendable lug wrench kit anyway for the
extra leverage.  Worth the $20 they cost!

From Van Cafe ad copy:

"This is the correct wheel hardware for factory 14"" alloys and all 15""
alloys on the market. "

They really should say something like, "This should work..." or "...will
work" because these are technically not the 'correct' hardware. If it was,
you wouldn't have to carry a separate wrench for the front and another the
rear.

The CORRECT hardware has a 19mm hexhead. Just saying...
