Default Flat tire help

so I purchased a used 2018 f150 and came with after market rims I do not like. So I got a flat yesterday I could not change tire myself because I didn’t have tools with me to take off the cap covering lug nuts. Got it towed home figured I would put on spare there.

Go to take off lug nuts and they were not standard. Question is are these relatively standard lugs that any company can take off or these something special I have to get. See picture and thanks in advanced.

ps buying new rims and tires this week.

On a tow

I have those on my truck, they are Gorilla spline drive and come with a special socket, a regular 6 point impact socket will also work. I forget the size of the socket but it must be a 6 point.

It's used. Have the dealership contact the previous owner to find out where it is.

This guy is always willing to help, he’s so knowledgeable he knows where the socket should be in your truck! Don’t worry if it’s not there he knows where you can find one! I find his posts so useful, just as useful as two **** on a bull.
