Per the title , can anyone recognize the brand / mfr with these nylon lined 6 pt sockets? I would like to get a 19mm one to use on the lugnuts on my Mazda6.

I know, right?
The only thing I can't read is the brand name; for crying out loud!
Does is have to be this brand?
An internet search should come up with something in any brand name for your need.

Looking closely, the wall of the socket (in steel) is not hex shaped. Weird, though they indicate 200 ft lbs max? Are the nylon inserts bonded to the steel? Yes I know how traditional lugnut sockets have plastic outside. I acually want plastic inside, outside, plus on-end. Is there any such thing? How 'bout aluminum sockets?

For wheel lugs the sockets with the nylon exterior are what is needed.
I have a set like this

I have to say that harbor freight has a set that looks about identical for less. I think they are the same manufacturer.

^ I've got the same set. Works well as long as you keep them off the impact.

I just use them with a torque wrench for tightening, I may have used them once with an impact for removal. Will they crack under impact use?

Almost certainly. I won't take the chance with these or my regular sockets. Only high-quality impact sockets see my gun.

I have the Harbor Freight set. I use them with the impact all the time. That is what they are designed for after all.
