There are 30 different key types - Aron is correct, if you can find the small plastic bag your socket key came in it will have a label with "Porsche" followed by a 2-digit number (01 through 30) to identify which one it is.

If you can find the key number call McGard direct at 1-800-669-8788 to order a new one which will be faster and cheaper than the dealer can unless they have it in stock.

If you don't know which number your key is then you will have to see what the dealer can do to help. Usually they have to bring out all 30 (if they have a full set) and start trying them until they find the one that fits or remove the keyed lugs "the hard way" which means drilling and destroying them in the process.

Unfortunately it doesn't take a lot of force to over-torque and crack one of the socket keys. I split one in half recently and had to replace it but was lucky enough to have the bag with the number on it.
