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.

the easiest way ive found to remove wheel locks is to weld a nut with slightly larger threads in top of the lock then just use a socket and breaker bar to spin them off..a quick work of caution: cover the wheel with something before welding so you dont get slag melted to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
