Does anyone have any pictures of any model volk in RMC? i did a search and nothing was found. And how is RMC done?

 

Volk GT-V

 

RMC/ Rays Metal Coating is like a powder coat, weighs much less than chrome but yet you get a chrome like finish. I almost bought these but they were made to order( 3 month wait)

 

Thats awsome! could i have this done to my Volks? if they aren't already and is it the center only or the whole rim center+lip? I have gold SF challenges and im thinking about doing it? is it possible? and where can i get it done? any powder coating shop? And thanks again manny !

 

Hey manny, do you hang out with OZOC ? i been to a couple of their meets anyways thanks again for the info!

 

Not positive, but I think its just some special paint used that makes rims look similar to chrome. Im sure powder coating wheel shops can have it done.

 

Hey A Keno Star
Yes I'm a member of OZOC, we've probally have met before. I've been with the club for about 2-3 years.

 

Well when I was looking into this for my old wheels I could not find a paint shop that can do this type of powder coating.
Here is the link to a shop that has been specializing in this type of coating

They'll be able to get it done for you.

About the whole rim, the only concern I would have is that if the coating process thickens the lips thus far causing an issue with remounting the center and or lug nuts
If you call the shop and ask of this I'm sure they should be capable enough to avoid this problem.
Just make sure that all holes especially the hub get covered, when I powder coated my wheels they did not cover all the wholes so I had to grind the hub, lug holes a bit to fit everything back in.

 

here's the SF-Challenges in RMC for you to see

They'd probrably look pretty hot with SB.

 

Awsome manny thanks a lot for the info i'll have to check it out, Well when i went to one of the OZOC meets it was at hooters and reason i came i was a good friend of brians and he invited me to go and there were a lot of nice Z's there and i remember most of them which one was yours? wha color? sweet thanks again bro !

 

Awesome thanks a lot "noodleman" those look great, yeah i have gold Sf challenges on my SB and really wish i could go back in time to get these. So im gonna see if there's any way i could get this done, and thanks again !

 

you can take the centers off and paint them in chrome or black chrome.
leave the lips polished.

 

Mine was the SS with the Greddy front and sides and a Vizage rear, I also had Black Maya GR-5's
You should come by and hang out sometime

 

I'm pretty sure the lips are all polished...RMC is applied only to the spokes...

 

Keno keno.. you should of ask me lol.. well I ask around and no one in the US can do that finish yet.. Why don't you sell your wheels and get the RMC SF Challenge or even better The GTS in RMC lol..

 

Hey manny, deffinite;y if im ever in O-town i'll stop by and go to some OZOC meets! Thanks again bro ttylz.........

Keno

 

LOL Brian i'd love to sell my Sf's for RMC Sf's or Gt-s's but i guyess i'll have to wait and see !=D And brian, your car is looking sick as always thanks again big brotha.

 

no problem...

 

You were misinformed. There are few shops in CA that do the "Permastar" finish which is the same process that Rays (and all the other popular JDM wheel companies) use.

You can have them done in chrome or black chrome. It can run anywhere from $150-$200 per wheel. I had my RO_JA Formula 5's done in black chrome.
