On a tight budget, folks should also look at used oem wheels. Subaru has decades of premium oem wheels made by BBS and Enkei, and can be found online for relatively cheap if you're shopping for practical wheels that look better than what you have, but don't need them to be perfect. Also, compare prices on different sizes - you may think you really want those new wheels in 18", but sometimes you can get the same width in 17" which will save some weight and money, especially once you factor in the cost of new tires, and also give you a little more sidewall (pothole dent protection).
I like to think so! They seem to be cheaper than Kansei and on par with ESR. My friend got his set when they were on sale and I couldn’t believe the price.
