I'm in a quandary. I just bought the car and several tires have cord showing on 2 of the 4 tires. The nearest Porsche dealer is 32 miles away and they can/will remove the lugs for me. I do not want to drive there and back then go somewhere else to have tires put on. I would prefer to take the anti-theft lugs off myself and not take the chance of Bubba or Cooter destroying my rims while trying to remove the lugs (self-help). If I bugger up the rims, I have nobody to blame but myself.
