Hello everyone, I do not post much, as I am a lurker really. I work about 60 hours a week and just browse by when I am dead in the parts room (I work for a Subaru dealer). My struts started making noise, so I decided to do some upgrades. I bought the TR Motorsports CR1 wheels in 15x7 with Dunlop Derizza Z1 star tires, H&R Street Performance Coil overs and Goodridge G-stop brake line kit (which is not on yet).

That is what it looked like after the install. I am waiting for a bit more money to get the rest of the suspension bits. I like the height on my car. It performs well when I am scooting along. I did the install myself in about three and a half hours in my in laws garage.

H&R is a great brand. I'm sure you got a good discount through your work.
I hope you'll consider buying suspension parts from me and support a YW vendor.
Looks great. Are the wheels bronze or gunmetal? Hard to tell from the picture.

Cali Yaris, I will be supporting the crap out of Micro Image after my wedding in September. Plus, I need pads and rotors, so you know I am coming to you for it.
300H, the wheels are a flat grey paint. I was thinking bronze or gunmetal, but these wheels were stupid cheap. This is the first time I have seen that brand, so I figured I would give them a shot. Only 12.8 pounds each.

Yes - I like those! Tamago, I think you brought those to the attention of Yaris owners, that's the way I remember it anyway.

Tamago,
15x7
Offset: +42mm
Backspacing: 5.70"
Bolt Pattern: 4-100
Rec. Tire Size:185/60-15
Weight: 12.8lbs.
That is the listing straight from Tirerack ( that is where I got the from ). No rubbing or touching issues. Only problem I got is a damn shaking when I speed up only. Think I busted my sway bar links up when I put them back in.

that wouldn't cause shaking.
shame you didn't get the C1M's, they'd fit much nicer :(

I am thinking about another inch or so, waiting on pads and rotors from Garm before I drop it more.
