It’s hard to be certain in the picture, but it looks like Competition Grey, which is an OEM color.

I cant tell if it's a weird color error, or if they're closer to bronze. They are not bronze from the factory.

AFAIK the only factory colors were black, comp grey, and natural aluminum (silver).

The Grand Sport brakes dust like mad. Mine came with black wheels that had a bronze tint after a 100 yards down the road when they got covered in brake dust. Maybe these pictured are dirty?!?

They look a little too uniformly colored for that, but I know what you mean about the brake dust.

Bronze. Plasti-dip. Done a few like that myself. If done correctly I will look glossy.
