Lockable Wheel Nut s- anyone recognise these.....

[MattBCardiff]

Bought my Boxster and now realise that I dont have the lockable wheelnut key. They arent Porsche wheel nuts so I cant get a key from Porsche gggrrr. I am told by the previous owner they came from Euro Porsche, no answer when I call them!.

So last resort before they are hacked off and potentially damage the wheels is that any Pistonhead recognises them and can identify the manufacturer so I can go direct to them.

Any ideas welcome...cheers.

Don't recognise but they should be removable without damage. There are plenty of tools around for just that purpose. (Sealey tool is only £11, just search on 'locking wheel nut removal')

They look like the 'McGard' type to me.

Any garage should be able to remove them for you.

or as DSM2 said, you could just buy the tool and do it yourself. You will just need to remember to buy the new locking wheel nuts before you remove the old ones.

You might want to post this elsewhere too, not just the Porsche forum.
