It's not about looking cool, it's about not all of us leaving in the same part of the world. Living in the center of Belgrade, Serbia like I do means I have to deal with many potholes, obstacles and generally badly maintained roads, parking spots located on sidewalks that are just unaccessible with low-riding small-tires cars - but you still need a compact car because of lot of traffic and little parking space. And beside I'm not talking of some crazy huge humvee style tires, I just need normal 15" wheels on a car.
