Looks like a C6 RS6 unless I'm missing something? Other than it's ready for painting.

Looks like an Allroad with ADV.1/Forge 360s stuck on it. Good to see these wheels do fit, there's hope for the C6 yet.

21" ADV7.1, custom made to fit.
As you know, nothing fits the C6 out of the box.

I know that I will never like the C6, no matter what wheels you put on it. Good for you if you do, though.

I also think that looks too low.

Who was it that sprung for a set of these for their C6 RS6, only to have a whole lot of time pissed away and ended up with a set of MTM 21s?
Going 21/22 on the C6 is pointless IMO.

What are the options for lower, is it just MTM lowering springs or is there a good coilover set for it yet?

Speedfreaky.

KW do coilover sets that retain the DRC. (same as MTM)
Grizz is fitting a set on his.

It looks like it's trying to push one out.

Absolutely hideous wheels.
