Wheels look good. But just realize that when you lower AND kit a car... you will forever be creeping up driveways at a 45+ degree angle at 1 mph hoping you won't scrape. If it's not a daily driver and you can drive it when you want, then who cares, go for looks. Otherwise just realize the consequences...

if you look closely at all the ones that say Legacy... they have the chassis code for what the kits will fit. there are one maybe two for the BC. a few for the BF. I find it funny that there are way more kits for the wagons.
