Default Rota Wheels (Bronze vs Sports Bronze)

Does any know what the difference really is? I haven't seen these in person and I am going to order a set soon. I'd like them to look similiar to the Mugen MF10 bronze. The pictures I've found online suck. I've tried to search, but it looks like the search isn't working.

I personally like Rota's "sport bronze" it's matted finished w/ polished spokes.

The "sports bronze" is darker, IMO looks much better. Standard bronze has more of a gold look rather then bronze, the sports is a more rustic traditional bronze color; it almost has a touch of gunmetal to it.

After seeing the sports bronze up close, I'd take regular bronze any day. The sports bronze looked like crap, literally, to me.

My bronze c-8's close up.

if it helps any, a friend of mine had a set of Slips in the regular bronze color,and they looked almost identical to my Almight Gray EVOs.the Slips had a slight ammount more gold to them.the pic below pretty well captures the color of my EVOs.

bronze wheels look lighter/darker in different lights resulting in them being fooled for gunmetals

I have mf10s and neither of those looks very similar to mugen's bronze. I'm thinking of getting the c10s for the street, anyone think white would look nice?

They are really different colors in different lights. Sometimes they are lighter than other times. The Rota gunmetal is much grayer and darker.

Interesting, I think I would go with "Bronze" then. They look closer to the color of stock then the "Gunmetal" I would love to get rim the same color of stock but bigger.

I'm going to get the bronze. I am going to use the stock wheels for track/auto-x. Thanks for the help.
