Default Questions about tires, wheels, exhaust, and break-in.

Well, my dad and I went to Atlanta today and bought my lil brother's new STi(Blue w/Gold). We're gonna pick it up Monday and hopefully they will have the fog lights installed. Anyway, on to his questions. He was discussing tire life with the dealer and the dealer told him that the tires will last about 6000, well thats just not good enough for my dad. He wants to know if you guys can recommend any higher mileage tires. He also wants to know what aftermarket wheels are available at this time for the STi in case my lil brother doesn't like the gold, in which case we would get new wheels and sell the gold ones. Exhaust. The dealer said he install the Turbo XS Turbo-Back Exhaust and highly recommends it, as I've seen many on here have as well. My question is should he do it now(car has 6 miles on it) or later(after break-in) and is it truly worth it? Lastly break-in. The dealer races Pro-bikes and he broke-in his STi in the following way: 1-1000mi @ 1/2 throttle, 1001-1400 @ 3/4 varying-throttle, 1401-1800 @ full out, 1801-2000 @ 3/4 varying-throttle. Also change the oil every 500mi during break-in. He recommended that we do this and I just wanted to get everyone's take on this method.
