No, inside has plasti dip on them. I didn't flip the wheels over and focus on the inside, but I didn't block it from over spray either. I thought it would look weird with black spokes and a silver barrel (is barrel the right word?)

just finished my wheels tonight. taped it off and only did spokes. havnt had it in sunlight yet, but under street lamps it doesnt look weird with the black spokes / silver "barrel" or whatever you call it
and with the ac off, is there much of a difference as far as the vibrations go? i hardly ever have mine on

Cool! I'd like to see pictures of your wheels when you get some.
And at idle you won't notice any extra vibration if you have the A/C off. It's still going to be a bit louder than stock, but that's it.

Got some better pics of the glow this weekend. Still not great, but better. 
Notice in the last picture you can see the front neon rod. I picked up similar stuff to what errol has and will hide the neon sometime this week.

*gasp... your neon is showing... It's kind of hard to hide that front one with the plastic underpanning of the car. Interested to see where it ends up at...
And that last pic reminds me of the movie P2... creepy

^ LOL, I know! Plan is to put a little weather stripping in front of it. Hopefully make it look like an air dam while hiding the rod. I finally have some free time, so hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow or Thu.
And while I've never seen P2, Rachel Nichols is pretty hot in the pictures I saw after looking up the movie.

My car gets hand washed at least once a week. If the bugs get too bad, I wash it again. It's a little excessive, but with a 2 yr old, a 16 yr old, 2 adults and 2 cats, my house is in a constant state of disarray. My car is my only refuge of clean.

Also, the leds look great and I am hoping to do a few of them but with yellow. May be coming to you with some wiring questions in the future as I do not know wiring. :]

Two mods for this update. Smoked tails and an LED swap.
Broke down and had someone professionally paint my tails, TBL and side mirror turn signals. I didn't go too dark as I just wanted to take the edge off the reds and whites.
And I did my own LED swap. It isn't terribly hard, just time consuming. I think I destroyed about 10 LEDs trying to swap out about 25 and probably made at least 25 trips out to my car to see if the lights were working. I have a few other lights to swap (Headlights On, Cruise & SET) and I'm going to change the red LEDs I added to white. Sounded cool, but it really doesn't look right. I'll do an LED swap write-up a little later. Being a novice solderer and this being my first time ever doing a swap, I learned a few things the experts on here didn't mention.
