New here looking to do A TIRE CHANGE .



Bought a Cayman 2007 has Oz racing wheels .
The pics are from my lugnut key anyone know who makes it or has seen one like this before.

Sadly its two piece and the aluminum sleeve has broken that threads onto the lug to snug the key to remove the wafer like lock lug nut.
Anyone know the maker of this key? Its is Porsche?

Cant remove the lock lugs ...ugh.

The locking lugs on each wheel look like wafers and are frozen on the CAR.
Looking to install new tires and now this weirdness

It looks like it is one that was made and sold by Ralph Boothe before health issues (?) forced him to retire.

I have a set of four, along with a "soft socket." If you might be interested in buying them, shoot me a PM. If you're careful when you install or remove them, which it looks like the PO wasn't, they work just fine. If, like me, you change wheels with some frequency, they do slow down the process, and Lord knows what the techs at Discount Tire could do to them with their impact wrenches.

Thanks.

Little bit of follow up on the progress here I should be receiving the lock key Tomorrow can't Thank Mr Davis enough!
I've been schooled lug nut 101.
The aluminum lug cap that goes on the stud the spacers is lug is on is a very big problem over time and with age
It left a ton of debris in the threads.
I was super lucky enough to have a couple bags of lug nuts left over from one of my Dodge challengers believe it or not there an exact match. 14 1.5
Also, proper depth to compensate for the lock once removed.
Super lucky I was able to clean up the threads and get rid of a lot of the aluminum debris from the alum lugcap.
It's obvious now somebody must have torqued down the aluminum cap thinking it was one of the lug nuts.
I hope this helps anybody that runs into a situation same as I did here with these very weird lockers.
It really pays to clean up the threads. So to preserve the aluminum shaft on the 2 piece lock key needed to loosen the wheel locks.

Plan is to totally get rid of the old locks replace them with a lug nut that I can actually identify where the lug is for hanging the tires while Removing or mounting the wheel. Covered the locks with liquid wrench I'll get at this 1st thing to tomorrow once the key arrives.

Next comes a starter replacement in the next month or so I heard the infamous tell tales of a starter going out.....
That noise is unmistakable.
New tires first!!!
Finally!



Once again ty Big time JD.

Check your private messages. I sent you one a couple of hours ago.

first thing after i switched out my four wheels was to buy four REGULAR lug nuts and throw away the locking ones. i suppose it's a personal thing. one lug nut socket per car is enough for me.

but glad to hear the OP found what he needed.
