Welcome.. I don't know what makes that a Boss wheel.. That's the same one as the prumium package and the one I have on mine.. You're right though, that base wheel looks like crap, ha..
I'd like to hear about your scoobies sometime.. The Legacy sounds like a fun little car..

Well the Leggy is my 5th scoobie. Ive had 2 prior bugeye WRX's, one sedan and one wagon, and 2 prior STI "hawkeye" STI's.
My 04 STI was completely done the hilt with nothing but top $$$ components. It was a fantastic handler, but basic boltons power wise.
Full Ti exhaust, 1 of 10 in the states, blah, blah.
Spent alot of time with the car doing this, lol.
My 05 STI was more subtle, still a great handler.
My wagon, which was faster then them all.
And of course the current Leggacy GT. For those of you looking to pick up an affordable, fun, DD. Look at 05-07 LGT's. Same motor as the STI, WRX 5spd, less beat on because the owner are more mature, and less expensive because for the most part people dont know about them. Same chassis as the newer STI's and WRX's(so its superior to the chassis of the same model year WRX/STI's).

My current LGT has an ~$700 18g on it, spools at 3k rpms, is plenty quick for a DD kick, and still gets 26mpg while not being a huge risk to the engine and trans.

Hell yeah man. Yeah never got into the big hp 4cyl stuff. It just never made sense. Alot of power but; alot of cost, typically severly decreased reliability, and decreased driveability. The furthest i go on subies is a mild and effecient turbo swap to keep the power band useful, cost low, reliability high.

.. 18Gs are nice, never had one, I went straight from a big16g to a td06-20g for some of my first swaps.. then I started playing around with bb turbos and never looked back, ha..And you wanna talk about a fast wagon, haha.. Below is the dyno for Cam's Wagon.. The little beast is ridiculous, he's a genius when it comes to tuning.. This is on E85
