Try to bang on a socket over the outside of the wheel lock lug. That has worked for me on other cars

The dealer has a kit with all 20 or so combos, just pull into the service drive and they will find out what key it was and you can get a new one.

Before you go to any extreme measures, go to the Porsche dealer. When I bought my 993, I drove it from TX to WI. When I arrived here, I went straight to having some things corrected. Later, the dealer called and asked for my wheel lock. I told him I just bought the vehicle and have no idea if I even had one. I drove over and searched my car and found no wheel lock. I went back home and called the dealership where I had bought the car and they had no idea where it was, could be or even if it had one with it. I thought I was SOL. Panicked, I drove back to where the car was being worked on and said I didn't have one so what are my options? The service manager at the Porsche dealership said no problem and came out with a very nice wooden OEM Porsche box. Within the box were about 30 neatly spaced wheel keys set in red cloth. He said he just needed to try each of these until one fit. Long story short, he found one that fit and ordered one for me.
