Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause

Having all standard lugs is probably the smart way to handle a setup, especially if on the road a lot.

I took the opposite approach -4 standard lugs to replace the splined ones.

Suggestion

Also, I figure if someone is going to try to steal the wheels, they'll probably use a rollback and take the whole car...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Recently, the socket for removing the security lug bolt broke in half and the short story is go to McGard online. After providing some basic info that was in my operators manual they identified and shipped 2 for $60 depending on your choice of carrier. A life saver.

Good info. I just looked through their website and saw that they are not only US based but also that all products made in the U.S., another plus.

That works well too. It's what I did on the GT4 and the Cayenne came without locking lugs. Having all standard lugs is probably the smart way to handle a setup, especially if on the road a lot. Also, I figure if someone is going to try to steal the wheels, they'll probably use a rollback and take the whole car...

POST 5Original post

I worked in tire/wheel sales and service for almost 25 years (first career long ago). My opinion is that wheel locks excel at preventing owners and authorized service people from removing the wheels. And in all those years I could probably count the number of wheel thefts I helped with replacements on 2 hands. Around here it's just not a common thing. As you might guess, I have no locks on any of my cars.

POST 6Original post

The 992.1 has external splines so an enterprising thief, or annoyed owner could pound a cheap socket (21/22mm / 7/8”) over it and remove it. The 992.2 has an internal pattern to frustrate the unfortunate owner who loses the ‘key’. Hence my going to standard lugs. And the .2 lugs need a 17mm socket, not 19

POST 7Original post

Note to self, Look at your 08 Turbo and see what lugs it has. Youve had it five months!
