Safety Upgrade - Getting rid of the failure prone wheel nut locks.
The Original Keyed factory anti-theft wheel nuts - Now is the time to get rid of them.
The original anti-theft nuts are prone to failure potentially leaving you stranded at the side of the road with a flat tire. New standard nuts are readily available from any Porsche distributor. Removing a broken anti-theft nut involves the use of a hole saw in a diameter that just fits over the bare stud and drilling the nut off. One has to use care to not damage the wheel at the base of the stud when drilling off the nut. Replacing the old with newer-style security nuts will not stop a thief who really wants your wheels as the adapter socket tool is widely available. But let's face it, who is steeling wheels off a 993 these days?
