i had that problem once when i got a flat tire. you will have to contact the porsche people near you and get the "special socket" thats fits your wheel lock. i was able to pick it up at the dealership. otherwise you can have them take it off for you. be careful with it my brother broke 2 of the sockets they sent me trying to get it off. it some kind of safety feature so no one jacks your wheels(who does that). or thats what they told me. after that fiasco i left the wheel lock off and put on a regular lugnut in its place.

Anywya, I agree. Find someone with a socket that will fit and replace that nut with a a standard nut or a locking nut that is the same size as the other nuts.
