Default New wagon owner

Hi Guys,
Ive owned my 01 Wagon for a whole week now, Im still blown away with it. Ive owned loads of jap motors to date, Supras, S14s numerous Hondas but I strayed to BMW last year.....what a mistake. By far, the most unreliabler car I've ever owned. Anyhoo, I needed an estate and this ticked the boxes for me.
Its stock engine-wise bar a Scorpion System and a panel filter...







The tailgate is now "De-Subaru'd" and the tow bar is off. Im fairly happy with the outside, though i may go for some Blobeye tails (and associated bumper) and possibly some new rims seeing as I have to fork out for new tyres as theyre all the wrong size.

I wasnt sure about them when I bought the car, but they've grown on me now. So much so that Im considering more white wheels, just a touch larger with a few less spokes becasue they're a bitch to keep clean.

They'll still be a swine to clean, wheels need to come off about once every three months just to polish out the ingrained brake dust

Go up to 18's and drop the ride slightly. It looks like your tyres are a little too small as well, if they're 17s they should be 215/45s but I'm guessing they've got the standard aftermarket package deal of 205/40s, I maybe wrong

Yeah, I noticed they were 215/40s, they even look the wrong size for the car. So if I need new tyres all round then we may as well buy new wheels too

Well it would be a waste not too really

Nice set of Rota GTRs (like mine) or team dynamics pro race 1.2 (iirc) are some easy to clean 5 spoke wheels
