Of course can. At most "polish" back the design with the same paint. Some nail polish also can.

Can the gurus 'share' on which tyre to change to that offers sart sart exceptional dry and wet weather super duper awesome grip???
Ideally only willing to pay cheaper if not at most same as stock tyre price.
For the best grip in any weather, I suggest you "grip" your sart sart ride on a flatbed tow truck. There will be no chance of aqua-planning in such scenario - between the truck and your ride. This is the cheapest solution instead of changing tyres.
Plus, your mileage will be low.

Hi seniors, can I use tyres with no more thread as slicks for track day?
Yes. Encouraged. You should also keep them as coasters for pots and pans in your kitchen. If you are really that cheapo, cut into bite sizes and give to your nephews and nieces as erasers.

How come you are still alive? You should be dead by now.

Hi... Thanks for the prompt reply... Am now at tyre shop. The tyreshop SE say maybe from my stock 19" tires and forged rims, i trade in the tyre and wheel combo for 17" sart sart best of the best aftermarket tyres and he will throw in 17" cast rims for me.
Offset correct but rim size cannot clear the BBK 'covers' i just bought and installed. plus i am afraid car will have massive wheel gap.
is this still a good deal? Maybe i will cut my stock springs to lower the ride height... 1 or 2 coils is ideal for 2 inch drop?
Decisions decisions....
I suggest you paint the BBK onto the wheels too. When they move, you will have rotating BBKs - one and only in town. Sart. Bragging rights.
Please update in your mod diary once you are done. To share is to care.

Does the 'caliper' increase or decrease rotational mass? Am concerned about my FC....
Read my suggestion above. Paint in on, instead of installing the cover. You should be asking if painted, should you redo the wheel balancing since your BBK will be spinning all over.
Answer is no.
If you follow F1 you'll know, those on the hard tyres do longer stints between pit stops.
