Wheel locks. What kind are these!????

Anyone know what type of locks these are? I have no clue whether these are stock locks or not, and have no key, or wrench to get them off. Any advice would be great!

Nope, the factories are the slotted key hole type. I would suggest eliminating them and replacing them with standard lugs (unless you are in a high-crime area)

Did you perform a thorough search of the vehicle for the key, including the side and center areas of the rear (and all other nooks and crannies)?

Oh yeah. I looked all around, and couldn't find the key. Well, I suppose I stop by a bunch of wheel shops in the hopes of getting lucky. Maybe one of them will have a match. Thanks for the input, all.

I'ev had luck hammering on a smallish normal 12 point socket. I've also had luck using those Craftsman bolt out tools. However, there's not a lot of room to work inside of a Porsche wheel, so I don't know if it will work i nyour application. Those are just two methods I have used on other cars.

found it!

Wildman was right! I thoroughly cleaned out the car after I bought it, and the only place I overlooked was in ash tray. Voila! It was there. Thanks all!

Yea, I just "had that feeling" that it was there.
