Lowrider rims are generally smaller than the original wheels. [6] They are often fitted with hydraulic systems that allow height adjustable suspension, allowing the car to be lowered or raised by switch. From 1958 to 2023, the California Vehicle Code made lowriding illegal, which was ultimately criticized as unnecessary and discriminatory toward Chicano and broader Latin American culture.

The city and Albuquerque Police Department (APD) used to take a firm stance against this practice, [21] but in recent years have reversed this stance, with APD introducing a lowrider police car [22] and the city creating a 'Cruising Task Force' to "promote responsible cruising" in the city.

At first, lowriders were only seen in places such as Los Angeles, especially in the 1970s on Whittier Boulevard when lowriding came to its peak. Whittier was a wide commercial street that cut through the barrio of the city in Los Angeles, California. Throughout the 1970s that culture spread throughout the Central Valley and San Jose areas of California, helped by release of the R&B song “ Low Rider” by War, and creation of low riding clubs such as Carnales Unidos in 1975, [18] and further expanded with the publishing of Low Rider magazine by San Jose State students in 1977. [19] At its peak in 1988, Low Rider magazine had monthly sales of over 60,000 copies. Lowriders were featured in the 1979 film Boulevard Nights, which some blamed for associating lowrider culture with street gangs. Lirones, Brett (February 28, 2019).

Retrieved January 26, 2023.Lowriding became widely popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and bans were enacted in many California cities. [11] It regained popularity a little in 2009, then significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. [12] In the 2020s, activists argued that the practice was harmless and banning it was simply the result of prejudice against Mexican-Americans. [5] San Jose and Sacramento repealed their bans in 2022 that had been enacted in 1986 and 1988, respectively. [9] [11] In 2022, the California State Assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging all remaining cities with bans (including National City, which banned it in 1992) to repeal them. [13] In 2023, California rescinded state restrictions on the height of vehicle bodies and superseded local regulations against cruising.
