Those are Shimano Technium 12000 XTB black mags with XTC silver spools. The newer model are the XTD's, but do a bit of research as you might not need to spend that much to meet your needs.

You could buy the latest black ultegra and send them off to F&F Customz to be pimped up.That way you would still have change over buying a set of secondhand mgs

Looks great, and a cheap solution..:-)

Just buy what you like. I personally hate all matt black reels. Remind of the budget tfg reels of days gone by.

What do you want?
Which do you prefer?
It does NOT matter what anyone else thinks, what matters is what you think and how you want to spend your money

The rear cover, and rotor covers are easy to change....and only cost a few pounds.

All that matters is what suits you and your fishing, not what other people say or think

They are 5000, and I believe the only difference with the 4500 is the spool depth.
I have them on my 10ft 2.5lb tfg compact carp rods, a nice match up.
The reels were a bit tatty when I got them but I have stripped and rebuilt them.
I have done the quick drag conversion and fitted metal line clips.

I would be more concerned about the performance and reliability rather than the colour !
