Default Where can I get a wheel boot? (Security Lock around the wheel)

I have been looking for one for long time, ever since RS Strauss stopped selling them. Where can I get one online or retail ?

I'd recommend sending a PM to member cxSHOE. I think he can probably suit ya out, or at least point you in the right direction.

Also try alphalock.com.. although I might get flamed by cxSHOE for saying this, lol. Go with alphalock if you're on a tight budget, but you get what you pay for. Go with mitico if you want something more reliable (i.e. not wanting to get your car stolen) lol.

lol i agree if your on a budget then go with the alphlock/s (hence more then one) , but keep in mind on its design and you will find this out once you have in hand.

if your serious... then get the longest government contract wheel boot for the past 45 years. mitico.com and get the 14" boot about $350 or alittle more also remember with the miti boot the more you turn the key the tighter it gets.

but both boots will not stop a tow truck who has time and patients to hook your car.

the miti boot has a rubber lining on the dome. if you put the 14" boot on a 15" rim properly the boot should fit perfectly and it will not damage the rim. but like i said properly putting the boot on makes the boot work and not cause damage.

also if your lazy and dont have the patience to put the boot on and off everywhere you go. i would suggest going a different route.

if your serious/paranoid like i am security is a job and i enjoy it.

I love my boot, I get some strange looks from people when I'm putting it on.

I just shake my head and whisper, "You'll never understand."
