Default Wheel boot

Yes, i've searched. I was wondering if wheel boots like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
actually work. There are cheaper ones that are exactly the same, but that's just something i found really quick.
-Thanks

Nothing preventing the crook from removing the wheel. 94

funny....I've thought of something similar for long-term storage. Taking a heavy-duty hardened plastic coated chain and linking through 2 rims with enough slack that if car was driven would call all kind of attention to the car.

You know though....it's all about layers of security and throwing things in front of a thief they've never seen before. There's all sorts of contraptions one could have a metal fabricator custom-make that could really throw someone for a loop or simply take them time to think "how can I disable this security device and do I even have the right tools?".

And of course visibility from outside.....no one ever realized the dial tape-deck in my old CRX was nothing more than the face-plate being removed a random tape-deck, emory boards glued to it that were perpendicular to face-plate and finding a space just the right size below my Alpine deck where I could slide in the emory boards into this small slot and totally cover up the deck.

Pull off the tuning/volume **** and you've got one pathetic looking stereo.....
