I just found this 1972 parts car and trying to figure out what these wheels are and how to remove them to put on a 71.
I would like to find a key to fit these as opposed to just grinding them away if they are a Porsche lugs. Also, does anyone know what these wheels are??? The tires are 195 15 Thanks in advance. George 71 1.7 Austin, Texas |

That looks like a type of lock that was on my 70 911 when I bought it many many years ago. I had to have them cut-off by a tire shop, and they did it with no damage to th wheels or studs. The name of the lock may come back to me but very hazy right now - I'm thinking "McGuard"?. The only other option floated was to make an impression/mold and cast a new key from it, but that seemed like a giant PITA.

Chris, I believe you are correct, "McGuard" from looking on E-bay, Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone. In the description it claims "•The computer generated key designs allow for an infinite number of key patterns". So finding a matching key is a waste of time. The problem with the one I removed the stud was loose and spinning because it came unpressed, hopefully the rest won't be so difficult. Thanks all for the suggestions, the cut off with a delicate bfh path will work. |
