    Replacement key fob/shell for a 2012 Mazda 3

    I managed to damage the key fob plastic shell while opening it to replace the battery.


    The price that the dealership wants for a replacement is unconscionable, so I decided to order a shell...

    Re: Mazda 3 skyactiv Wheel offset

    Great info, Joe. Thanks a lot for sharing it!
    It actually explains why I keep seeing 3 different offset numbers (link).

    So the 2.0L 3 can have +45, +50 or +52.5 offsets on stock rims.
    I wonder...

    Re: Mazda 3 skyactiv Wheel offset

    Yes, Joe, I understood that.
    My use of the word "we" was intended to indicate that I am asking for a way to determine that without having somebody (like yourself) query the Mazda DB.

    Re: Anybody ever try Toyo GSi5 on mazda3?

    The GSi-5 is supposedly the G-02+ replacement, using the same "walnut tech".
    The reviews on 1010 are positive.

    Re: Anyone use 15" tires/steel rims for winters?

    If buying 15" rims for the 2.0L cars, what width and offset should be used?
    Since 195/65R15 tires are narrower than 205/55R16, perhaps 6" wide rims should be OK?

    Apologies for resurrecting an old thread...

    What in your opinion would be the best winter setup in the GTA for the GS-SKY?
    - 205/55R16 (stock size on 16" rims)
    - 205/60R15 (-0.77% on 15" rims)...
