Rota Offroad grid colors are giving me a headache....

[dsprimal]

Was about to buy my set of 16" rota offroad grids today but when it came to deciding the color I got stumped. I want them in bronze, and the only color they offer is "Full royal sports bronze". The thing is i've seen 2 different shades of bronze for the rota offroads.


This is the color I want: http://18racing.com/images/wheels/grid_offroad_8x16_4_+10_frsb_2_300.jpg

This is the color I DO NOT want: http://18racing.com/images/wheels/grid_offroad_1795_4x1143_+12_frsb2_300.jpg

I'm figuring one is a MATTE finish and the other isn't?

Can anyone help justify what color this exactly is. thanks!

^^ thanks! I continued looking into the different shades of bronze. Can anyone agree that Full royal sports bronze is not a dark brown, but not a light gold. its in between? i kno its proven with the post above but pictures can be very deceiving. cause i want my wheels to pop out but i don't want them to be subtle. if that didn't make any sense. I don't want neon white rims on my black civic, and i dont want black rims on my black civc. i want a shade in between.

Is full royal sports bronze the way to go then? ;D



reason why i'm even posting again is because this http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9053/rotagrid01qa0.jpg was considered "full royal sports bronze" as well and they look like garbage!!!!

they're a bit lighting-dependent, i would say, but definitely on the darker side of the bronze spectrum.

i know it's not on a black civic, but here's FRSB grids on a couple black subies, just to give you an idea of how it would look color-wise

i have a feeling you're looking for something a bit brighter since you mentioned wanting them to "pop out." i personally like the darker look, though, as they make dirty wheels less noticeable

thanks man!!! yeah i'm probably going to have to look into another color. I might go with hyper black which looks silver in pictures. Then i'll get them powder coated to my liking.

I'm pretty sure that first one is gold, not bronze. Bronze should be dark, almost brown
