The socket won’t seat on some of these and just spins without moving the cap, only rounding it

Get the caps off and you'll have 18mm lugnuts for as long as you like.

No luck with the 13/16. There’s gotta be some easy way considering all of you guys stories of them coming off but mine are telling a different story

I hammered on a 19 mm deep socket and got the two stubborn ones off with a breaker bar and got some new lug nuts.
