The idea of cutting bits out of wheels, does not sound a good idea to me. However thin the bits are, surely they all add to the tested strength of the wheel, takes bits away, surely you will be weakening them.
Painting though is not a problem. |

if you painted the thin ones matt black, they would be harder to see ! So it would look like 5 spokes LOL
