That is correct. Make sure when you get aftermarket wheels you find out if those wheels need the special lugnuts & socket ... and if they come with the wheels. (some don't)
'tuner' lugnuts are usualy a good bit smaller in OD than normal to fit in small diameter depressions in the wheel so you can't use regular sockets. The special tool is basically a thin tube with inner ribs at different locations, usually unique to the wheel manufacturer or seller, that fits over the grooved top of the tuner lugnut, and has a 7/8 and/or 13/16 'bolt' head end that you us regular sockets on.
They are pretty nice but if you have more than one kind can be a pain, not to mention the reaction from installers when you service those wheels.
