Looks like someone used a 12 pt socket on those stupid tin covered lug nuts..
Had those stupid things on my F150 and I used a 12 pt socket and effed them all up..
Used a 6 pt socket and finally got them off and then got a new set of real lug nuts without those stupid tin covers and I can now use my impact again.. ;)
Good luck!

I only use 6 point sockets unless clearance is an issue, then I will use a 12 point.
In addition love impact wrench for removing nuts and bolts, saves on broken bolts.
I thought I knew about them until I had a alternator pulley nut I could't remove with a socket, breaker bar, and strap wrench on the fan blades. Took to the local Ford dealer and asked if they could remove it. Parts guy took it back to the shop, got the correct socket on the impact wrench, put a shop rag over the fan blades and held with his hand! I saw hamburger coming, nope one quick hit and off came the nut!
