 |
|
Not sure if mine are OEM or not. They cylindrical with an outer plastic cap and a small key hole. The PO didn't have the key and these tires are in terrible condition.
Are these keys able to be reproduced? If so what is the process. I am sure there isn't a Porsche dealer in all of Montana.
Lock smith? Dealer? On line? Drill and replace?

No, you just have to have the image hosted online somewhere like photobucket and copy its url code, then put it here in between [img] [/img] tags if it doesn't already have them..
On topic I'm curious about the aluminum lug nuts on my car... Are they OEM?

Forget about chasing down the key...
Take a socket that is roughly the same size and hammer it onto the stupid lock [it will grip it tightly then] and then simply use a socket wrench to remove it.

That's not going to work on the Porsche locks.
Drill & replace unless you can pick them. |

Yes |
Be careful with them, they get worn out easily and can strip/fail if man-handled.
On my street driven cars, I replace them with steel lugnuts for safety in case some goon with an impact wrench gets too close to my car.
