White wheels ARE the way forward
 
I'm about to spray some myself, got some ideas from the people on this forum. Eklipse3K IIRC had the idea for something like this:

(Sorry for the image, paint was the only software I had at the time)

But somebody said it was a nightmare to get a good edge to the black parts as it is v.hard to just mask up curved edges.

Will probably attempt it but if it is a complete nightmare don't think I'll do it as there will be 16 of those grooves to do (4 wheels)
 
maybe an idea to pop to your local signwriters and see if you can get some backing paper, its basically masking tape but it comes in 600mm or 1220mm rolls. throw it over the whole wheel then cut the holes out.

(obviously sprayed the spokes black first - see above)...
