I'm actually interested in getting wheel locks, but I know they're typically pretty easy to bypass. This product looks like it might be able to thwart the usual methods favored by thieves with its close-fit spinning sleeve.

I just need to know what kind to get. Anyone know the specs of the 2013 Speed3 lug nut?

It doesn't look to me like that would be usable against those lug nuts. It's looks like there's a very specific space that thing won't be able to get into. I don't know for sure, though.

I don't know. If you find one with small things, in theory they might be able to fit. Granted, for the most part it shouldn't be able to fit but that's the only thing I can think of.

Stealing MS3 wheels is pretty desperate. I guess in Brunswick, GA the MS3 is probably an exotic car. I got pulled over by some dipshit trooper in McIntosh County on the way back from Savannah a few months ago. He asked me what the hole in my hood was for (being a smart ass). I told him it was for storing and keeping donuts warm for state troopers, but I was fresh out.

How difficult would it be for some to steal an MS3 with the push button start up (tech package) vs key crank for the ignition?

Well if you are talking about changing a non tech package to a tech package, its a huge PITA.

No I have a tech package on my MS3. Just wondering if safety is part of the value of a tech package rather than just convenience.

well can't you just pop off the cover where the keyhole is and just take it that way? There are systems in place so you can start the car if your key fob battery dies and that is what the thief will most likely use. It will however take more time plus I am not sure how he would get in the car to begin with without breaking a window. Do the tech package cars have the keyhole on the outside doors?

I honestly don't know how easy it is to steal a Tech Pachage MS3 if you were to Jam something in the keyhole to start it.

I haven't tried to jimmy a lock on an MS3 yet but on my old 2000 Protege the only way to open the door without breaking the window or using a key was to push the unlock button with a long metal rod.

I spent some time checking out a 2013 yesterday and I was not too impressed with the finish on the wheels but I did like the centercaps.

What I can't understand is why Mazda likes using the Wheel design of the regular 3 for the new 6. I think its a 19" rim now but it looks like ass.
