And if you want to be cheap and lazy . . .  

Ok, ok, it is me who tends to cheap and lazy . . . .

You can usually put crimp-on ends -- female spade terminals in this case -- on the wire ends and just put them straight onto the male spade type terminals coming from the relay.

No socket needed.

They can carry the current if the wire can -- typically #10 AWG for 30 amps -- I think the insulated female crimp-ons will be yellow for #10 wire.  Stranded (as opposed to solid) tends to work best.
