depends, if u dump it enough. i'm a little biased but i know wht u guys mean. if u get something with rivets it won't look too big and if you get a dark finish as well. driveability is worse and tires are expensive but i get around sf just fine honestly. i've hit some things on the freeway that i thought would obliterate my wheels and they're still fine.

i hit a serperation on the freeway btwn two sections that was raised up about an inch and a half and spanned atleast 2 lanes and the wheels were fine. i had a half full water bottle in my cup holder at the time and the wohle bottle came flying out it hit that hard

101 is generally ok and so is 280, fucking 580 and 80 suck.

Welcome to the East Bay. LOL If you think 580 is bad, which is actually pretty good since 18-wheeler trucks aren't allowed on that part of the freeway, try 880. That has got to be the worst one. Dirty, too many trucks, and the surface is horrible. There are dips, bumps, cracks everywhere!

dude you have a e92 lol. Were saying 20" for the E90 Sedans look way too big. I'm like you now, going like 1mph over speed bumps

280 rules! I hate 101, for cops & rock chips.

if you want to go on a roller coaster, go down 87 in sj. does wonders for modified suspensions.

haha yea i agree on that one too.

It's interesting to see CalTrans out working on the freeways all the time, yet they can't make the road smooth enough. I just don't get it sometimes.

california roads suck.

when we crossed the border from cali into nevada, nevada's freeway's are so nicely maintained!

have you ever been to japan? they got some awesome roads there. my friends and i now understand how they're able to run such slammed cars there.

92 isn't THAT bad...it has a lot of ups and downs, but very few potholes. 280 is pretty much the same...ups and downs.
