I read somewhere that you could use the BMW keyed wheels locks on the 996. Can anyone confirm this? These were great locks on my BMW. Otherwise, what locks are you using?

None, if they want the wheels bad enough, locks won't matter.

Fair enough

FWIW, I decided to get the Porsche lug locks from Suncoast, and if the BMW keyed locks fit, I'm getting a set of those too. This will give me enough time to walk out to the garage and unload my Sig Sauer.

Can I assume that you don't lock your front door when you leave the house?

Trust me, I have a set of Porsche locks..... Why take it laying down? Put up a fight if you have wheels worth saving....
