Hi Tony,
The best way to go is to just give them the wheels as they are, the spokes were blackened because the heat used in the mould to form the tyre and the heat allows the excess rubber to bleed out, there is really no point in painting them befor they are redone as you said the paint will be burnt off,The other alternative is to remove the rubber your self, but they will not change the price, so you are better off just hading them over the way they are, the job is really first class and they look as new painting them is no real problem just a matter of taking your time,the end result is well worth the effort and cost, particuly if you have good track,

Regards,
Ron
