What’s the likelihood of your wheels being stolen?
If you do want to fit locks, similar 3rd party ones are available at a fraction of Porsche prices.
A couple of times over the years I’ve known tyre fitters mangle the locks. They’re then a PITA to remove.

I work in Oakland. I’ve seen cars parked missing wheels before, don’t want to risk it. Will probably buy a third party, just was looking for a recommendation.

Standard feature in UK but mayan option elsewhere. Check the standard spec sheet.

Are you the original owner? My 2020 4 S came with wheel locks (US). If you are worried about theft I would get a set.

I am the original owner. It looks like it wasn't included in my spec and I need to purchase separately. It's $99. Not bad. Worth the comfort knowing you won't find your car like this.

FWIW, this is what my guy at the dealer recommended. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/sku9j1whlocks.html

I got those (used to be $69.99 just over a year ago, 43% inflation, Porsche has been raising prices not just on cars). They are easy to use. Won't stop a determined, experienced thief, but might discourage an opportunist. Couple of things:

1. There is a dedicated place in the frunk to store the adapter
2. If planning on changing wheels yourself, I recommend a couple of these to make it easier to not bang up your brake rotors: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/99957107430.html

Thank you! Not planning to change the rims, just want to protect them, but good info!

hah stumbled on this doing a search and noticed you're also in Oakland had a concern about stolen wheels. Purchased –thanks. As a fellow Oakland you're going to love this: I drove my CPO Taycan CT 4S home from Monterey and 2 minutes before I got to my front door I hit a pothole on Park and damaged sidewall. That section of Park near 13 is moon landing bad right now
