This guy was just purchased at a market. He seems in pretty good shape, but his leaves are a little wrinkly. He seems to have been watered recently because the soil is quite damp. Any reason on the cause of the leaves like this? Unfortunately, it did spend a day in a hot car, would that cause it? Also, an ID would be great! Thanks!

Looks like some type Sempervivum hybrid. Which hybrid, I don't know. My Sempers don't usually wrinkle on the hottest of days here, but they are wrinkly right after winter when they don't absorb much water. Not sure about your case, I'd go with the heat explanation.
