I know it's neo chro but I don't think you use burning to achieve the finish as you would with titanium. I believe they use acid to get this finish going.
Either way, this is the shop that does it.

not the piping, just the i/c. ok, so its really aluminum, but it came out really nice, imo. just imagine the possibilities...

I wouldn't trust wheel techniques with anything I cared about. I gave them two items to paint for me and they screwed up both. On my valve cover they sandblasted it and didnt cover the bottom. They got sand into the baffles and I had to sell the cover at a loss.

The volks i sent them they did a cheap *** powdercoat and it was very thin in some areas. To top it off they didn't clear coat one of the barrels of the wheels....no attention to detail and a bunch of sorry *** excuses. I wont go there ever again nor would i recommend them to my worst enemy.

Called the Sac branch and apparently they cannot just do sections, the whole thing must be done and it's in a vaccum enviroment? Guy sounded like he didn't know how it work though.

For $250 a wheel that's a little pricey.
