Likely, just a Photoshop special.

EDIT: Apologies, and I don't mind admitting I was wrong calling it a likely Photoshop, but OP only clarified it was an actual photo after my post.

Looks great. GM should offer some wheel color options besides silver and black.

I feel like flashy wheels pull your eyes away from the car and you are just looking at wheels. It's why I like black. So your eyes are drawn to the design of the car itself and not the wheels.

It looks beautiful. I loved the lowered and bigger wheels. I'm wondering if it being lowered that much makes it difficult to get in an out of driveways and gas stations. Any thoughts?

Looks fantastic, but I give all the credit to GM. It's just a factory optioned car lowered on stock suspension with larger wheels? I can't see any changes honestly other than the wheels. Help me out here.

Obviously, if the OEM height presents problems to the extent that hydraulic front lift is an option, any lowering will necessitate extra care and make more places difficult to get in and out of.

Looks nice, but would be better with different color brakes. Red on red clashes a bit

Definitely not BRIXTON wheels, Lowered on stock Coilovers, Bolts are gone, and its a swing and a miss on the wheels overall.

Cool. I'd do the mirrors the same color as the wheels. Maybe even the wing. How about the bars inside the grille and the front edge of the splitter. Try it with photo shop or vinyl first. How about the boomerang also???? Yeah.

Looks like window tint too. Gives it a nice look.

C8 does not have “lowering bolts” your story has a big problem
