Default Source for single 997.1 security lug nut (wheel bolt)?

The knuckleheads who mounted my tires lost one of the security wheel bolts (lug nuts) for my 2005 997. Looking to replace it but can only find them sold in sets of four -- I only need one! Anyone know a source?

FYI: I lost my key (adapter), so I ordered a new key from my dealer. It comes with a bolt. I don't remember the price.

I don't think you can buy one from the dealer you may need to chuck the other three and buy another set ... Why bother just replace them with lugs I too hate those things ....unless you live in the ghetto and there is a real fear that you may find your ride up on blocks.

If installer lost it then let them pay for a replacement set - they should know you just don't replace one since your existing key won't match.

One of these should do the trick to get out, then replace with normal lug bolt.

The issue is there are something like 50 different Lock and Key Combos. You're best bet os to go to the dealer and have them look up the code number for the ones you have and order one more for you.

But the OP has a missing lug bolt not a missing key.

After 10 years, I just throw those away. The only person it stops is you, at the worst possible time.
