Yes, they are some times referred to as petals.

If you look here the angles petals are shaped all wrong. The black background color comes up too high on the sides and the edges go nearly all the way out tot he edge/lip.



And the damn center caps look like they were printed and taped on / or a sticker.

I have seen a few folks paint reproductions to be more inline with shape of the originals. Notice how the side of the petals (spokes) has some of the aluminium showing? The black doesn't rise up so high. And the black separates the end of the spoke (petals) from the lip a bit more.
