I opted out of the factory storage locker, because I wanted something a little more secure. While looking for alternatives, I came across this product for the Sprinter, which shares the 6 x 130 bolt pattern. Expensive for sure, but looks beefy and from what I understand not much more than ordering the factory kit after the fact.
Other than having to drill out the center to fit, the hub post, and sealing that somehow, does anyone have thoughts before I try it out? Not a huge fan of the exposed hardware and a determined thief will still get into it, but tempted to give it a go.
