socket for nice lug nuts

Hey i just got some nice new lug nuts and I want to protect them. I see Eastwood has a set of nylon lined sockets for lug nuts but they don't have 3/4" for some reason. Has anyone seen them anywhere else?

In case you didn't know the Lug nuts are Metric and thats why the 19mm socket fit so well.

Makes sense. Thats why it says metric on the lugs i suppose. I've always used a 3/4" because I have a 6pt socket in 3/4" and not in 19mm. That got me into a habit of thinking they were 3/4" Either one works. I'd like to find a just a 19mm socket for the lugs. The Eastwood kit has 4 or 5 of various sizes and is $35. I'd rather pay $7-8 for one.

Note: the metric and inch sizes are not the same, with the metric being smaller.
