Got my wheels from discount tire...they sent a bag of these lug nuts but no store anywhere near me has a socket that fits them.

Those are splined lugs. You should have been given the matching key for them. Contact Discount Tire and tell them you need the key.

They usually send locks with a key, but that looks like a simple 12 point socket would work.

I don't think that's a lock, the splines look evenly spaced?
To me, it looks like a 10-spline socket is needed. There's at least two sizes:

I'm not endorsing this site: https://www.brandsport.com/10-spline-lug-key.html, they just provided the picture above.

What kind of wheels did you get? Some fanzy tunerz [sic] style? Maybe a local tuner garage might have those sockets immediately available for purchase?
