Hey everyone,

Went today to have my winter wheels and tires put on at my local Porsche shop .I purchased the car several months ago and this is the first I've had the wheels removed. The shop owner called me asking for a key for the locking wheel. Unfortunately I never received one with the car. He says he's never seen one like this and doesn't have anything for it.

Any suggestions on where to begin? I know I could hammer it off but I REALLY don't want to do that if possible. See attached photos.

Those are Tikore titanium bolts and locks. You will need a tikore key to get those off.

It's a nice little bonus if you didn't know you had them. They aren't cheap so I would try to not damage them.

Assuming that the shop owner knows to look in the frunk and the glove box, the next think is to find something like this petagon socket in the correct size. I have no idea how you would size a pentagonal wrench, so you'd have to google that. Good luck.

 

This looks pretty close to me, if not exact. I went ahead and ordered the key because I really have no better ideas at this point. Definitely have looked all over the vehicle and there is no wheel lock at all .

 

I would contact Tikore. Maybe they have a record of the vin# those bolts were sold to and can cross-reference the key #. If not, just buy 4 additional normal Ti lug bolts from them that match the others and scrap the locking ones. The only person that locking lug bolts prevent from getting a wheel off is the owner.

 

Good suggestion - I would do this too...but still need a way to remove the lockers.
