No Wheel Lock Key for my Boxter

[Starter986]

On the '12 Edge I used to own I removed the 4 lug locks and replaced them with a smaller lug than the rest. For example... and I'm reaching... If all the lugs were, say, 20mm... I'd throw in an 18 on each wheel.

Sure, a thief won't terribly be deterred... but a lazy one would.

I just figured them to be after market when I saw the selection of factory wheel locks which were all symmetrical and only differed in the number of tabs on the key. Mine have different varied width tabs.

Unfortunately, going to a dealer for help isn't an option for me. The closest Porsche dealer is 130 miles away.

The Internet and the USPS might be what you're looking for.

They'll be no help unless I can figure out how to show exactly what I'm looking for.

Go to your local tire shop. They'll remove those things.

Easy. Peasy. No drama. In. Out.

The end.

AOS blew so it's not drivable at the moment so I need to figure out how to do it myself. Amazing coincidence of negative components.

Here's a photo of the wheel lock in question. Black & white shows the details better.

Isn't that just like life. If it isn't one thing it's another.

The extractor will work, and then you can get onto that AOS.

Good luck! Report back, and then take that thing on the road!
