seriously our road sucks, i don't know why the mainland guys keep saying our road is smooth. if they only been to waikiki then it doesn't count. i remember reading an article somewhere hawaii is at the top 5 when it comes to worse roads in the nation.

i guess it is just a personal choice. some of the guys in hawaii like to ride super low, they know how to drive a slammed car and they are not afraid of scraping and rubbing, after a while you will get used to it, it is part of the game. when i ride low i pick my route and make wide turns so i don't have to turn alot.

congrats on the new wheels! i think it looks nice. certainly easier to clean than the VS's i bet. and you know with the stretched tires, you'll be just fine riding that low. sick stance man.
