Default 996 lug bolts
Curious why one is different. Anyone know? Car is new to me, hoping this isn’t a locking bolt.

It appears to me a locking lug bolt. It's so the wheels can't be stolen or taken off without the special socket.

Yup a locking lug bolt. Off to the dealer u go to spend some money if u didnt get the key. My advice would be to remove them and get some new lug bolts.

Lock nut:
1) Check for the key in the car trunk or somewhere else in the car
2) Go to your favorite shop to have the lock nuts removed or
3) buy a DIY tool:
