Rota Torques in action...
I have no pics of my car that were taken specifically to show off the rims, but someone asked me if I had pics with the Rota Torques on my MR, so here they are:
Turn 3 at Summit Point (~90mph)
Return lane at SCCA Northeast Divisional Autocross
Capital Driving Club Autocross launch
Charcoal Rota Torque by itself
As I said, there's no perfect pictures designed specifically to show off the rim, because I don't sit around taking pics of my car when racing. I only use these rims for racing during the non-Winter months, and now I have them on with Blizzaks for the Winter, but the whole car is a dirty mess of salt, dirt, and snow.
I did want to say that the Charcoal Rota Torques look awesome on the GG Evos, which is why I got them. I wanted them to look just like my BBS rims, and they do a good job of that.

So Warrtalon, those are the hyperblack correct? They look great and they look more aggressive than the BBS MR wheels imo. I guess I am biased, I have the Torques in the Gunmetalic and love them. For the price you cannot go wrong. The first pic is sweet!

Not sure if this was to me or to Warrtalon, but for me the Work Gunmetal was not dark enough to my liking. Then I found the Dark Gunmetalic Torque and I was sold at whatever the price, which just happened to be about half the price of the Works.

Evoviiiyou, these are not the Hyper Black. They are the dark gunmetal or whatever the real name is. I refer to them as Charcoal, because I've seen that moniker used on some websites, but I really don't know the official name. You can see in the autocross launch pic that they look like exact matches of the GG body color. The flash pic of the solo rim makes it hard to differentiate between Hyper Black and Gunmetal due to the flash.

Even if I had known that the Works Emotions looked exactly the same, I never would have paid twice as much for them, though.

Charcoal Grey is actually a totally different color, but unfortunatly i don't have detail pix of that color.

I have no idea which ones mine are. I didn't know there were 2 dark grey colors so close together. Also, like always, the Hyper Blacks in those pics don't look black at all. They are barely discernable from the Gunmetallic in those pics. The differences are a lot more noticeable in person.

The best way to describe it is that the gunmetallic is a REALLY dark grey, almost brownish
The hyper black is like a black mirror finish, almost like a really dark black chrome.
