Looks like the Cube will be the vehicle to test the new tire changer (and my ability to use it). I ordered a set from Tire Rack and they were delivered within a matter of days.
I didn't grab any pictures during the process but there wasn't really much to see that you couldn't see in the many YouTube videos outlining the process. I ended up leaving the TPMS sensors in place; my reasoning was that since I'm now my own "tire guy" I can easily replace one if it goes out before the next change. My parents did get me an awesome TPMS tool for Christmas that came in handy for verifying each sensor was still functioning after the tires were installed.
I did find while balancing that a couple of the steel wheels were slightly out of round. I'm not surprised as the Cube has likely hit a potholes and other miscellaneous items throughout its life. The rash on one of the wheel covers may confirm that suspicion. After test driving there was no excessive vibration or shaking in the steering wheel though.
