If you take a picture of your security bolt, maybe someone here can loan you their key? I have bought 4 new bolts to replace my security ones but I just haven't gotten around to switching. If yours matches mine I would be happy to loan you my key.

Thanks for the offer Steve. Apparently there are many different patterns of Boxster key to get the lugbolts off. I phoned my indy shop and they said to take mine in and they would try to fix it up. It has a split along the side. They said this is not the first time this has happened. If a person does not have fancy rims I think that regular lugbolts should be sufficient. Porsche dealership has the master set and they are not about to share that with the indy shop. Because I change rims/tires due weather every six months, the key takes a beating. I should splurge and go buy a breaker bar instead of using that mickey mouse foot wrench from the tool kit.

As someone noted prior it would be prudent to take a digital picture of your existing key, send it to McGard and they will sell you a "Back-up" key. My locking lugs and the keys are always removed, placed into tupperware containers and quickly replaced with regular lug nuts soon after I get the cars.
