Hi All, I am trying to get the wheel off but cannot find the wheel locking nut in the kit to remove it. I think when I took it to the garage a few years ago, they took it and didn't put it back in the car. I have attached two photos of the two types. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me where I could get a replacement other than having to go back to Porsche. Or at least, if anyone knows what this type is called, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

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.

I always went to the dealer and have them pull it. Then I replace it with a standard lug. The days of people stealing wheels has kind of phased out. Looks like you have two different lug styles, too.
I know this doesn't help your current situation, but I will never use locking nuts again. On several cars and different types, from gorilla to OEM Porsche, they all eventually fail. Hammering a tight fitting socket over the head is one way to remove them - buy the sockets at Harbour Freight tools and have at it.
