No Wheel Lock Key for my Boxter

[78F350]

I have a collection of sockets keyed to the various wheel locks on these cars. I always replace the locking lugs with a standard lug when I buy a 986 and I've bought over 20 now. If you post a picture of your locking lug, I may find one that matches. Still, it's best to get rid of them. They will not slow a competent wheel thief down.

Here's a good discussion: https://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/61000-remove-locking-wheel-nut-without-key.html

It appears as if they are aftermarket locks, so the Porsche factory stuff will not work. Going to have to do it the hard way I reckon.

You sure? They used a couple different kinds over the years. I lost my key and took it to the dealer who didn’t even remember the old kind until I told them I was sure it was an original wheel lock and then they dug around and found a master set.

I convinced them to let me just remove the locking bolts since they were already out at the car with me to figure out which key I needed instead of buying it, which they reluctantly agreed to lol.
