Default Wheel lock key lost :/

I changed into my spare, took a couple of days before my tire came in and now I'm left with my wheel/new tire and can't get it on cause my wheel lock key has been lost :/. I changed it a few days ago, I even checked the parking lot where I did it to see if it was laying on the ground... No luck. I looked everywhere in my frunk.. No luck.

How do I get it off w/o going to the dealer? Can anyone send me theirs and ill return it shipping both ways paid??

I don't know how much longer I can driv on the spare im constantly afraid..

You can`t as there are 36 total master key locks and thet are so sublty different you can`t tell. Take it to a Porsche dealer they won`t charge you to match the key lock for god sake then order a replacement, $25!!

My replacement from the dealer was $36 IIRC...if you have nice wheels you may want to consider keeping the wheel locks.

Did you check the lug wrench? I had momentary panic once when I left mine plugged into the lug wrench after changing a flat.

Thats why I love OEM Porsche wheels. Who the heck would want to steal them?

(Eric is just too hi-tech for me)

The service guy at Carlsen Porsche has a spare 2nd-hand key that he gave me. Really nice guy. Makes me want to order all kinds of stuff from him. A little goodwill goes a long way.
