Default Rim scrub

Had my first race with this beautiful car last weekend and LOVED IT. It drives itself, jumps like a cat and handles great, and that's with box setup.

One thing I noticed though, was after each qualifier (three of them with three different sets of rims) I'd have a thick black "ring" of melted plastic on the inside/center of some or all of the rims. It's obviously coming from the rim being right up against the hub carriers, and actually scrubbing (probably in the curves, bad/sideways landings, etc), and was wondering if you guys found a way to prevent this (my buddy's rims from last season are the same way, so it's not just me).

I've considered dremeling a touch off of either the carriers or the rims for a fix.....?

Thanks
