I'd have to venture a guess and say that MOST folk aren't going to run the OEM wheel. On the 02-05 they're an acre across, the 06-07 is nice and simple (three spoke) but still, why have an airbag that won't deploy?

I'm fortunate enough to have a 2004 WRX that I race so I can start trying out some parts that will cross over to our 818s. I started with an NRG short hub and 3" dished wheel. Nice setup for an R if you're not running blinkers (or wipers ha!). For the street I just couldn't stand the non-canceling blinkers and the lack of horn, also for Colorado we need a horn to be legal and another button on the dash is silly.

Here's the NRG setup: http://i.imgur.com/TibiTQU.jpg

This morning I installed the better solution, a Works Bell Hub. These are made specifically for the WRX and have a few very nice features. First they come with a resistor that fools the system into thinking the bag is still installed, so no dash light. Second they work with the clock-spring so you can retain your horn and cruise control if you like. A note, you will need to fabricate some sort of bracket if you want to keep cruise, I opted not to. The part is a nice clean cast and comes with a pretty decent fitting plastic surround.

Blinker cancel works now as does the horn. Placement of the wheel is great and allows enough room for swatting bees without setting off the wipers but they're still close enough for easy access.
