Hey everyone, been lurking for a while and figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Mitch, a California native currently living in Germany (since 2011), and I've got a bit of a problem when it comes to Subarus-- I can't stop putting money into them. This bugeye is my first Subie (I was a diehard Mitsubishi owner, I still have a Ralliart back home) and I've come to love the subaru family and community. I'm also a pretty avid shutterbug--combine the two, and I've got about 6 million photos of my car..

Speaking of, here's a few photos of the ol' girl (admittedly, this is my winter setup. Last year I ran 17x9 fifteen52 Tarmac's in white, this summer I'll be running 17x8 RPF01s): I've gone through a few different phases with what I want out of the car, but have ultimately settled on a rally-inspired look with track performance.

different to most of the bugs I see, I like it!

Imprezas certainly are 'money pits', once you start..

Really? I figured with all the stances VWs they'd be everywhere around there. Just 3SDM then? Lol

If they weren't so heavy, and I wasn't focusing so much on track, I'd've kept them..

I stand corrected, nice one bud. There for our hatch STI rather than the blobeye so I'll see what pcd they do them in.

They can do them in any 5stud pcd and any et between 0 & 50 so you should be able to get something that suits your needs
