I am thinking about buying a wheel boot, similar to what the parking enforcement uses to immobilize a vehicle. I have found two manufacturers that make consumer grade wheel boots. I know there are more, so please post the manufacturer websites for every consumer grade wheel boot you know of. Thanks!

Here's what I found:

Alpha Lock 2000

California Immobilizer

lol...I can see a thief destroying the entire side of your car while riding down the street, just like homer did.

Good idea though

 

I know there's more companies that make these. I recently saw a link to a wheel boot that I like better than both of these, but couldn't find that post. Please post links!

 

First thing that came to my mind...

 

even with the wheel boots, it cant prevent a car thief from taking ur car. there are ways to do it, but i would rather not post it in a public forum. just in case a car thief is reading this and doesnt know how to fix this problem. hopefully

 

Yeah, a thief can just remove the lug nuts and replace the wheels with the Alpha Lock, but here's one that covers the lug nuts:

Pit Bull Tire Lock:

What do you guys think about this one?

 

same here... lol!

 

 

What's with the guy and the airplane? Is that Dale Earnhardt??

 

Well, I just ordered one of these:

Now my car would never get stolen.

I've had this idea in mind for a long time now.
Now a question: could a device like this potentially muck up your wheels? I can't see how it's attached or what it's resting on just from the pictures.

Shingo

 

I called them and they said that there is a 1/4 inch padding on the lug covers and any part that touches the wheels. He said it wouldn't mess up your wheels. I'll let you know how I like it after I recieve it in the mail.

 

A bit pricey but it is probably the best security available. Can't even get towed with one of those, without owning the wheel wells and fenders atleast
