I need a new wheel to replace the stock one on my impreza outback (15", I think). I've never bought a wheel before. Where is a good place to get one (either local or internet)? Assuming most wheels are the same, I guess price would be the main thing. My wife and I just had a little baby boy, and we're on a pretty tight budget.

I'd also hit up the Nasioc classifieds, too. Sometimes their are good deals. I know they're are very limited on Subaru parts at NW.

Careful with the aftermarket wheels, John, the offsets will be different than OEM.

Hate to sound ignorant, but what's an "offset"?
