Default Center Lock Removal Nuts

Is it provided with the car? It seems not, I know it sounds ridiculous, but I am not able to find it on both the new TTS and GT3... Is it because Porsche want us to do it in the dealership so they can make more money?

SOLVED: how stupid I am

A compartment in the trunk. Should be in the owners manual.

open the front trunk, remove the big plastic cover near the windscreen, just right (as you face the car) of center there is a round black plastic cover with an inscribed picture of a wheel, unscrew it about a 1/4 turn and remove the cover. there is the nut and a small plastic clip thing to remove the center cap covers.

Do not lose the little plastic tool stuffed in ratchet hole.
This is to very important! It designed too remove center hubs on wheels, and most importantly THERE is a hex tool for turning center hup locking mechanism. MUST READ IN MANUAL !

Why is that called a nut? Looks more like a socket to me

of course it is of little use without the $800-$1200 needed for a wheel guide, breaker bar, big torque wrench and a multiplier if necessary.

it removes the conical "central bolt" that torques down on the wheel, so socket sounds right to me.
