I'm not saying you have to spend big money to have nice things though. Quick look on YAJ recently for wheels for the subi and for around $500 So we'll call it ~$800 landed there's all kinds of quality rims available in reasonable sizes/offsets(As far as Subarus are concerned anyways) TE's & other Volks, Advans, BBS, often with meaty quality tyres too. The first argument thrown out by these people is often I can't afford X andit's simply not true they're just either too lazy or too stupid to put in even the most basic of legwork.
