If instead you use the factory combination jack wrench / lug wrench which is located behind the drivers seat, then you would need the sockets you described.
What number is your Ruby? Mine is 181.
Congratulations!!!

p.s.
I do not recommend using the lock lugs. I have seen far too many examples of owners being unable to find the lock socket when needed. While there is a generic removal tool, wheel damage often is the result.
In 2024 few crooks would covet these type of wheels, unless they are unusually brilliant, knowing their rarity and worth. However, they also likely carry the generic removal socket in their theft wares.

Also, join the Registry as a member to get the full benefit of what it
has to offer!

Again, congratulations and welcome.
