Now the tyres are off, the wheel rim 'ooz' will not get any worse as nothing else is in contact with the wheel's plastic except the metal axle which will not be a problem. Over time this 'ooz' will become harder than what it is now and you could if very careful trim off the excess with a modelling knife or a pair of nail clippers to make the wheels look more presentible. It is also tempting to put tyres back on but the choice of tyre regards what the replacement tyre is made of needs consideration.
Tyres of the same consistancy as the rim should be fine, but how to test this is not easy. What I would try is to source another model with the 'oozing' problem and fit some harder plastic tyres similar to those used on the front of the #39 Tractor if they are the same size.
This is not something I have tried, just a mechanical possibilty based on theory.

and good idea...i have a miura without the melting rims...those tires feel harder...maybe tires from that model would be a good choice to use
