Do you know what brand and size wheels they are? Also does the car appear to be lowered ?

I think it looks awesome but I would hate to loose to much of the ride lowering an XLR

I agree that it looks sweet. Great for a show or track car, but having a daily driver that is lowered like that sucks. Your always having to be mindful of drive way entrances, parking curbs etc. etc. Like someone else pointed out, no big deal if it's a Honda, but on a 80K Caddi, it just doesn't make sense.

Has a "tuner" look to it alright. Interesting that it has the "V" grille.

I think it looks good, if not just a bit too low. I do like the black rims with chrome outline on black cars if tastefully done which this appears to be. Does the XLR retain the transverse leaf spring setup from the Corvette? If so, lowering the car takes less than half an hour and is free...it was the first thing I did to my Z06, as it looked like a 4x4 beforehand.

I've seen those rims in my monthly subscription to Car & Driver... In the middle of the magazine there's always 2 page rim add... Next time you're in the supermarket, skim through one, you should find em.. As for the size they look to be at least 20's...

I like the look but I'm a 60 old kid. When I bottom out the first time that's when it sets in makes sense to have a nice ride but sitting up makes more sense that down to where you have to worry about bottoming out everytime you go somewhere. One thing I would like to do is the grill I have a 2005 xlr but would love to put a 2006 V grill on the top and leave the bottom one as is for the cruise control on the 05. I love it and in a large city it is perfect for riding 80 with only 1 car length from the guy in front of you. Ha Just kidding I trust it on normal conditions but not on heavy traffic conditions.

Lowering it is a little much. But the car is as trick as it gets. FYI, you can have your factory wheels powder coated any color you want.

It looks like a show car for a customizer.. I think that trailer behind it belongs to it..

LOL, I agree, looks nice, if a bit too low for my taste.
