[recycled sixtie]

Welcome back Zeke. Several years ago when I had my Boxster I was faced with the same problem. The special socket to remove the safety nuts was split from overuse removing winter rims/tires to summer rims/tires. I googled it and found replacement sockets but there were more than one shape. So instead I took my Boxster to an indy shop and they removed all the theft proof nuts. I had them replace them with regular nuts. I have no idea how they did it but it was a reasonable price to do it.
