Default What is RBC exactly?

Im just curious, because i stll cant say exactly what Volk's RBC color is. Black chrome? but is doesnt look as dark as Racing Hart's black chrome. So what is it? Would you just call it chrome?

I suggest you see it in person. Looks way different than in pics.

Kinda how "diamond black" and "gloss black" look the same in pics, but totally different in person.

RBC is like a powder coat (paint) that is applied to the wheels.
When you put your face to the wheels you can tell that it is a paint but stand back about a foot or 2 and they look chrome.
RBC- Rays Black Coating
RMC- Rays metal Coating
SBC(Raceingharts) stand for Super Black Coating
