If it's a Porsche locking lug, probably is, the parts dept at your local Porsche dealer has a key kit. They did mine, on an 01, no charge. (The sold me 4 lugnuts at a kinda inflated price, tho.):ah:

Same thing happened. I brought my car to the stealership to have them program a new remote key and asked a favor to borrow a key socket. They got 3 cases of key sockets but none was a match.... Then the mechanics just went ahead with wedging a socket and removed them with no sweat. Great but then I figured oh **************** now I had to buy 4 lug bolts from them!

Luckily the parts dept only had one in stock and the mechanic gave me 3 used ones laying around for free! :dance:

These locking lug nuts seems to only lock out the owners instead of the thieves. If a thief wants your wheels they will get it. They are better equipped to take them off than we are.
