Default rota c8 bronze color

has anyone ever seen how the bronze rota slipstreams aren't a TRUE bronze..but kind of like a silverish with a hint of bronze under certain lighting....i've seen rota c8's in like...true-*** crayola bronze...but do they also make them in the same shade as the slipstreams? if so where can i find them?

maybe you saw the Rota Gunmetal, that sucks because it is a metal flake gray/bronze/black kinda strange color, actually lots of colors... I do not like th egunmetal much compared to their bronze or flat balck. you mean this bronze C8 color?

wow thats HOT. I like that bronze a lot, I am sure Rota has one bronze, they are not known for their custom colors unlike Rays/Volk for instance. I think it is safe to say that all subzeros in bronze look like that. Mayeb the C8 just looks a bit darker because there are no real flat planar surfaces to change the light/color/look.
If I saw those bronze subzeros then I would have bought them, they look really good.
