Torque wrench socket for lug nuts

Hello all. It's about time for me to replace the original brake pads in the front. And I figured that I'm gonna to this myself because of the absurd prices at the dealer. Anyway, I'm just gathering my materials now, and I'm at the point of looking at torque wrenches. I just have one issue. I'm looking at this 1/2
TEKTON 24335 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench, 10-150-Foot/Pound - - Amazon.com TEKTON 24335 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench, 10-150-Foot/Pound - - Amazon.com
torque wrench, but can't seem to locate a socket for our cars lug nuts. A little digging around the forums reveal that we have 14x1.5 lug nuts, but I guess that doesn't translate to the hex size? I'm not the type of person who can just look at a bolt and know what size it is. I mean, I can just go without a torque wrench, but I kind of want to make sure it's done correct.

Thanks Megatron! ..now that I think about it I could have went and measured the diameter of the bolt. Guess I was getting mixed up between metric and SAE bolt values and whatnot.

You're welcome. Just remember that everything on Hondas and Acuras are metric. You can of course find a close SAE equivalent to the required metric sizes, but every bolt is truly sized metric.
