Got a new aircooled beginning of summer. I need new tires. Of course missing is the lug nut key! I tried an extractor but it just snapped at the grooved break point. Extractor grabs the head and where it needs to be. And looks like these were designed to keep people from stealing wheels with extractors.

Anyway, is there another way to get these off? Does anyone have this same system and maybe I can borrow/rent the little tool to get my wheels off? It’s got 8 nubs equally spaced.

Thanks!

I got one. PM me your address

A key for a particular set of locking lug nuts generally has a "code" taped on it. Nuts in that set can only be removed by that key. If you had that code, you might be able to obtain a new key from the manufacturer. The chance of finding a random person with that same key seem pretty slim. Your best bet might be to visit a mechanic or tire shop, as they often have master keys or professional removal kits. Good luck!

go to your local Porsche dealer.They have complete box with all the right sockets in it.

I tried tire shop and they only had an extractor that grips the head. Then went to the dealership and they had a set but it was for the newer style I think lug bolts with the different sawtooth style. They checked the mechanics and they also didn’t have the old style key. I called some vendors including Pelican and they drop ship this style so they couldn’t match the 8 nub one I need. One said I can order it and if it’s not right one then return it and order another one. Thanks for y’all’s help and advice.

Okay update!!
Found one locally.
Awesome Porsche community!

Thanks everyone!
