Ray's Metal Coat (RMC)?
Does anyone have Volk GT-C's, GT-7's, or SF Challenges in RMC on a black Z? I'm torn between RMC and Mercury Silver for my SB ZR and can't seem to find any pictures of the RMC to compare on a black car. Also, is it a "smoked" chrome look? It's very hard to tell from the pics...

RMC and RBC are not the same. RMC is only available on the SF series wheels, and is a chrome like color (very bright). RBC is only available on the GT series wheels ( a darker chrome look).

Do you already have the wheels? Or are you still looking for them?
The RMC with black will look amazing ... just my opinion. A friend here has RMC GT7s and they look great on his silverstone G35

Essentially it will look like a high polish wheel. Not really a chrome .... know what I mean.
Look up some of the Iforged guys ... they run full polish wheels on black.

I like the "bright" look on black - that's why I love Mercury Silver. Just a little paranoid the RMC will look like cheap chrome in person. Below are two cars that I really like - both running Mercury Silver Volks. (People from this site)
Someone HAS to have RMC on a black Z that I can take a look at... Or will I be the first to bite the bullet?

Here are a few pics I found today of RMC on different vehicles - still no black but I think I'm leaning towards SF Challenge in RMC - looks awesome...

Here are a couple more SF Challenge RMC examples I found- another roadster with these wheels - just not in black...

Black and RMC seem to fit - just no examples yet. The more I see it the more I like it... Pics would be appreciated if anyone finds any...
