You can buy Mavic bladed spokes if you really want to keep the wheels all-Mavic. They're pretty strong and look NICE but are quite expensive and difficult to just pick up at a LBS.

Mask everything off and spray paint with rustoleum black.

DT Aerolite Black. QBP carries them so any LBS should be able to get them for you. They don't come cheap.
