Hi Toad...
I have to say that you are a very funny individual. I have noticed that you do not post very often, but when you do, I take notice. Keep posting my friend! I just wanted to inform you that you can buy our wheels from Subaru, and since you cracked your wheels while driving insurance would cover the cost of getting you two new wheels, and tires if you need them.
In Seattle we have some terrible potholes and I also bent one of mine after I hit one going 45, it totally sucked, my insurance helped me locate a new 18" Spec B Wheel wraped in 225 50r 18 Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3 tires. To match the other 3.
My B #161 has 172,000 miles on the original engine, I put in a larger turbo on, 4 years ago, not because of any issues but when I redid my exhaust I thought why not. Car runs just like a little kid still. But I do change my oil every 3K miles, and I check my oil weekly. I have to say I love this car, more and more.... I just don't see another car I like better. I hope this helps.... cheers, Toad.
