torque wrench for aftermarket rims?

What's the size of the wrench for the aftermarket rims' lug nuts?
I made sure to put 5 stock lug nuts, but I don't know what size tool I should get. Thanks!

you mean socket? usually 17 or 19mm deep sockets + adapter. i use a 1/2" drive snap-on torque wrench that goes up to about 150lbs.

i use 80-85lbs depending on the lugs i use.

Were you not instructed to buy tuner lugs with your aftermarket wheels? What type of wheel did you purchase? The stock lugs may not be correct for your application.
