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   |

Craftsman makes a Tool to take Wheel Locks off. Before you Fuch up a Whell call around to a few Tire Stores to see if they have a Tool to take them off. When you get them off, throw those Fuchers in the Trash.

I did check the other wheels and found one where the previous owner attempted to remove one of the locks on a wheel. I ended up using a 3/4 inch Milwaukee whole saw from Home Depot. 45 min. later, I drilled far enough to loosen the bolt. The other three I want to find the proper key or I'm thinking of taking the car to a local machine shop to have them removed?? Turns out the wheels are 15x6 aew, oh well but they are in nice shape.
