Fuchs Wheel Lock Key Help

I have these cylinder type wheel locks on my Fuchs, PO lost the key. I think these are Porsche wheel locks? The key should be a small silver/chrome key about the size of a standard Master Lock type key. Is anyone aware of a "master" for this type of lock or will I need to use a locksmith to pick these?

If it's not in the glovebox or the toolkit I'd weld a nut on to remove it.

I have some sockets that remove rounded bolts and nuts. See if that would work.

The outer sleeve spins freely until the inner cylinder is unlocked so no way to remove other than picking the lock or welding a nut to the center fixed cylinder.

Mine are made of aluminum. You can use a dent puller to take the outer cylinder off.

I use a pointed tapered chisel that only takes one or two blows to crack them off in seconds, does no harm.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.

These may help you if you decide to get a locksmith. The key is 1 3/4" long.
