Got me some Rota C10's. :)
This is kinda old news, but I didn't post about it yet...
They weigh just as much as the Rota Attacks that I had, except you can feel that the weight is concentrated more towards the middle of the wheel (which is a good thing for acceleration).
The color is bronze (which was the color of my old wheels).
I wish I had gotten a different color though. Maybe flat black? Hmm... I might re-paint them later on down the road. The original paint is kinda delicate. When I had my tires put on it took some of the paint off. Almost as if it was still wet. LOL
Thanks to Zzyzx for linking me to a thread about recall information from Rota. I had defective wheels. The Rota Attacks that I had were from their very first batch and they had a tendency to give out during hard cornering. I was riding around with a cracked spoke for the longest time. Oops.
Anyway, they look good. I've gotten used to them now. My car looks good with them on. THey seem bigger than the Attacks that I had. Can't beat a new set of wheels for free though!
All I had to pay was $48 for mounting and balancing when I transfered over my old set of wheels onto the new ones.

No, it's not the "sports bronze". I asked for those, but they didn't have them in stock. I waited a long long time for a replacement of my defecctive wheels, so I said hell with it and got the bronze instead. I'm not too dissatisfied though. 
Here are some pics from today...

It's a Minolta DiMAGE S404. Very good quality. These are shrunk down to 25% of their original size. Originally posted by StLVtec

I've seen that sports bronze color in a picture on ephatch.com. Lemme find it... Here's one: Rota C10 16's "Sports Bronze"(56k Beware!) Here's another: ROTA CIRCUIT 10 rims (MF 10) Check out the second page of that thread. The sports bronze is lighter and duller. Plus it has a different color lip; lighter in color. Thread Starter

Then some foglights and a nice grille on my front bumper. And... Um... Oh yeah, an intercooler when I turbocharge my beast.
