Wheel locks.
I lost my key. Anyone know about how to get a replacement?

Which type? Puzzle key or conventional key?
If it is the puzzle key type there are only something like 26 different ones and the Porsche dealerships have a full set. You can go down, have them try their key sockets and order the missing one. The key type is not so replaceable. You can search here as there are a number of threads on how to remove them. (destructively...)

Here is one.
![]() What is it? It had a cap that looked like a lug nut top but I don't use them. This car had euro minsters that may have been bought at the same time? I didn't buy these so I don't know. I lost it when I drove odd with it still in the lock.

Found it. Who has a key I can borrow? I guess I can buy a set if they're all the same?

Unfortunately, they are NOT all the same. They should have come with a card with a key number on it so that replacements can be ordered. Lacking that, removal will be messy.

Drive a thin-wall, 12-point socket that is slightly too small over the lock carefully. Then try to loosen the lock. That is your best shot for these locks in those wheels. Don't use your favorite socket, pick one that is expendable, as there is a fair chance that you will crack it.
