Wotcha and welcome - I have a 2008 2.0 Sport hatch auto with 79K on. Car has not missed a beat engine wise. Only had to service, replace a weeping bush on the rear diff mount, brake pads tyres etc. Engine has been solid. A recent post on another forum returned similar responses from other owners.
I am looking at doing the head gaskets just purely as a precaution because the material used by Subaru is not particularly good quality - I have no issues with them at the moment.
Strange - The link threw up an error for me also but when searching the site you can find it... I copied the link to find it is exactly the same as posted but still does not work
Some details, follow the link then look for the AV Panel:

how early do you mean? you will have a 5 x100 pcd which is the same as my RX but I am unclear as to the offset before 2008 even if the pcd is the same but from 2008 will fit
This company reckon a 2005 will fit...

I was considering this brand as winter wheels

Try Kidderminster MOT
Mike knows his way around a Subaru but they can be busy so may not take it on

Wotcha and welcome - much as I am a fan of the subaru brand and product, they do not do a good diesel engine, they are subject to various failures.
The 3.0 H6 engine is really reliable sounds great with an aftermarket exhaust or if you want something with possibility of tweaking go for the 2.0 twinscroll turbo
If you want something that performs from the outset look for an Sti import
Here is a similar example to mine but different part number on box

I have removed a module from my slightly later impreza that might fit dependant on the connections at the back

Dont know if you have a manual but it might reference this for classic ipod connection.
If not it might be an audio rca l/r module that goes in your centre compartment
