I am missing my wheel lock key, where is a good place to get a replacement? My local Porsche dealership wants $95, is that reasonable?

 

Nope.. it's highway robbery.. .. but it's a factory lock key; I'm not sure where else you can buy one.

 

I think I have a key and 4 matching wheel bolts. If I can find them they're yours for shipping. However, it's been a while since I last saw them.

 

Only dealer can help you on this one. They have to test fit one by one to find out which one you have, then probably not have it in stock...

 

If you can find them, that would be GREAT! Let me know

 

Alan C 's wheel lock key won't help you much unless the key is identical to your locking lugs. You are going to have to go to the dealer for a new key period.

Once you get it remove the locking lugs and replace them with the standard lugs. No more problems and your chances of someone steeling your rims won't change at all. They want 'em bad enough they'll get 'em locks and all.

 

do you have a buddy who welds? cant a normal lug (head) be welded to the key lug so you can extract with a normal socket? might be overkill but at least it saves you some $.

 

There are ~ 30 different lock combinations available...dealer has master key set. Unfortunately, $95 sounds like going price for replacement...

An alternative, if you have stock lobster wheels and don't have much theft concern, is to ditch the locks entirely. Have your dealer replace the 4 locking wheel bolts w/ std wheel bolts ~ $7 a piece. Of course they'll probably also charge you .25hr labor but at the end of the day, you won't have to worry about lock missing or breaking (common occurrence). Also, depending on your wheel, you may try hammering a smaller sized socket on the lock in hopes of getting a grip for removal for DIY replacement.

Good luck

 

PS - you might want to post a good picture of your locking bolt head. Someone may have the identical one to help you source a new one cheaper thru Suncoast/Sunset or sell you their's if not using anymore.

Good luck

 

great idea! thanks!

 

I think Mcguard makes and sells the replacement keys. Call 1-800-669-8788. If you can get the lock number, or send them photos, they might be able to help.

 

If you get them off and end up needing a new set, trashed yours, let me know. I found my set.

 

I just contacted McGuard, and they informed they are not the manufacture.

On top of that, i just got a flat while out of town this morning, and the nearest dealership is an hour away who "may or may not" have my wheel lock. Looks like my karma is running on fumes at this point

 

Get the car to the dealer, and get them to remove the wheel locks all together. Replace the 4 wheel locks with regular bolts.

 

I go into San Francisco a lot, so I would like the security of wheels locks. Alan C is sending me his old set of locks and key, I will use the old socket and hammer method to remove my old locks once his set arrives
