If it will fit in the wheel, get an old or cheap impact socket that is slightly small and hammer it on. Use an impact socket because they're softer than sockets meant for hand tools.
If that won't fit in the wheel holes, you'll have to ruin a good thin-wall socket and hammer it on.

You can also get a lug nut removal kit from an auto parts store. A quick google search showed some options for around $15.
