Lost security lug socket

I concur...just get rid of them entirely. The socket itself is made of cheap pot metal and mine actually cracked in half while trying to remove. I just went down to my local porsche dealer and they had the correct socket on hand. I had the service guy loosen all the lock lug bolts and replaced them with standard OE's I bought on eBay. Dealer removed them free of charge.

+100 on getting rid of the things. I bought a 996 that was missing the key. I used an old 1/2 drive socket that was just a tad smaller than the key, pounded it on with a sledge, and off they came. Total cost to remove=free. I had 4 lug bolts in the parts bin, but if you don't, they're cheap, too.
