Which wheels are you switching to? Many aftermarket wheels have deep or very thin pockets for the lug nuts and the stock lug wrench will not fit or may scuff up the wheels when used. Also in my experience many aftermarket lug nuts are either 17 or 19mm heads while stock lugs are 21mm head. This is all assuming you are going from stock wheels to aftermarket of course. I would personally invest in a quality reversible torque wrench with extensions and a set of thinwall sockets, they make swapping wheels a breeze. Also don't forget jackstands, even if you are only going to have one wheel in the air at a time you should always have a stand underneath.
