17"x7" Ro Ja LT5's

I'm picking up a set of these while I wait for my Racing Harts to arrive. Anybody else use these? Thier 17"x7" Ro Ja LT5's. I'll probally wrap them in some Yokahama Prada spec 2 rubber. Still deciding between the Bronze or the gun metal, my MCS is DS, any thoughts? The weight is only 14.5lbs. Also be getting rid of my 18"x7.5" Enkie DM5s w/Nankang 215/35r18's. Fronts are pretty worn but rears still have a bit of life in them. PM me if interested. The Enkie DM5's are pictured below on my MCS.

id go with the bronze, you dont see too many MINIs with bronze wheels. Also, are the ROJAs lighter than the racing hearts you're going to get? i would forget about the RHs and keep the ROJAs. The bronze ones are hawt!

I was leaning towards the bronze, and you're right not many DS MCS's with bronze rims. Hence the hesitation. I think I'll go bronze since my Racing Harts will have graphite centers. And I've been waiting way too long to give up the RH's. 65 days with about another 40 to go! According to RH the CP-F tuners are in the 13lb range, and thats for 18's. I would like to have a set of fifteeners down the road just to change it up a little.
