Does anyone have suggestions for a wheel lock replacement for a 6 spline key? I have no idea what happened to the one I had. Thanks

Take it to a Porsche dealership and they'll provide you with the key lug# for ordering a replacement. Depending on the Porsche dealership, you should be prepared to show proof of ownership.

Take off the wheel lock and put it in the garbage. If the problem is you lost the socket, take the car to a tire store. They have most types of sockets and there are also universal locking lug nut removal tools. Buy some standard lug nuts, install them and move on.

Doesn't really matter as long as the wheel locks are OEM Porsche, they'll help you out. Do you have picture of them?

Thise are not wheel locks. They are garbage splined lug bolts or lug nuts if u installed studs. They are used to give more clearence then a standard socket. Pepboys sells splined lugs and the tool comes in the kit. One of these may work. They r not unique. Im guessing they came free with the wheels?

So... If I take this to a Pep boys or somewhere similar, will I be able to find the right lug tool? or just go online?
POST 10Original post
Maybe. These parts stores have a small wall section with lugs so give it a shot. U may have to buy a pack of lugs to get the tool and hopefully one works. So 10 sec in google looking for "splined lug bolt tool" found this. Amazon Amazon

I went through this on my '17, and discovered there are quite a few options, from 14 splines to 23 splines. I ended up buying the correct one for my car, removing them from all four wheels, and replacing them with normal lug bolts. Hope this helps; this is the chart I located. FWIW I agree, those don't look like Porsche security bolts.

Wow... small world. I had some Porsche aftermarket wheels with those lugs. Here is my key lug socket.
