Since incidents of twisted off lug bolts have been a topic of discussion for many years now, I fail to see why anyone would use the factory lug wrench or some old x-wrench to remove the bolts. After all, these wrenchs all sit on top of the bolts and and not very tightly, at that.
As for me, and since my car uses the longer hex section bolts for the AMG wheels, I carry a 17mm six-point 3/8 deep socket with a six inch extension and a 16 inch bar. The socket's end sits down on the bolt base and I've never had a bolt refuse to come out. Leave those cheesy OE lug wrenchs in the tool roll. RLE
