Why do I see so many inner-city kids (mostly black) decorate their cars with tiny wheel rims and tires that stick out from the wheel a good 8 to 12 inches? They take a perfectly good car and put 10- or 12-inch diameter wheels on it – why? Doesn’t this increase the turning radius so much that the car won’t make a sharp turn in case of an emergency? Also, it seems that inner-city kids (black or white) spend more on the wheels/tires than the car is worth. I’ve seen a $500 Chevy Baretta with $2,000 worth of wheels and tires on it. why not put the money into a better car?

I don’t know how it is in Rochester, MI, but in California and other Western states, lowriding is very common. It started with Chicanos decades ago. Now it is very common to see people of every background driving fixed up, lowered cars. Why do we do it? Because it looks good, and it’s fun. For people who are very serious about lowriding, it is a lifestyle, not just a hobby. Personally, I don’t care for the small rims that stick way out from the side of the car, but that’s just my opinion. Unfortunately, some people don’t take some things into consideration before lowering a car or putting on custom rims, such as how the performance of the car will be affected.
