Are these -10, -20 offsets? I've seen a few of those floating around. I'm surprised you want to sell your set. I have a set in much more conservative offsets in storage and I can't commit to selling them.

Look amateuRN can weigh in on this more, but to neo chrome anything it's extremely expensive. Hell to neo chrome some wheels you will spend around 5k to get it done right when shipping was all added in. Now from what I understand it costs that just to run the machine. If you can get more parts you may be able to split costs with people. But I'm not positive on that. I do know that on the konigs the neo chrome is not the greatest. Fades and haze set in. You get what you pay for. I know ssr has a rainbow style wheel as well. Not a neo chrome but a rainbow.

^^ Very correct information.
To get coverage like the Gram Lights each lip is done ALONE in the machine. You can group items together. This is what it appears that Konig does. They probably do 10 or 20 sets of wheels at one time (depending on how big the machine is they use).
An easy way to think of the process is this:
You put one teaspoon of blue food coloring in one glass of water - it will be nice a dark blue color.
You divide one teaspoon of blue food coloring between ten glasses of water - they will all be blue, but faded.
This holds true to the neo chrome process. To get the best coverage over one part with the most dynamic color you put only one part in at a time. This is a LOT more expensive. Hence, the reason Gram Lights are $5800 per set and Konigs are $850.
I don't want to sell the wheels at all... and am regretting it already. But its time to move on to something else. I think everyone will like the new look... but it'll be different
--- And will still use a neo chrome touch!
