Going in for spray work - keep winter wheels on?

Hi All,

In one week's time, my MCS is going into the shop for a bonnet respray, and at some point in the estimate they mentioned that they (the shop) use a "drying oven" to help the paint cure.

I was initially going to change my winter wheels over to my summer wheels this weekend (5 spoke 16" winter, 17" S spoke for summer). Should I perhaps wait until the car comes back from the paintshop, just in case they mess up or the "drying oven" does something weird to the wheels?

Or am I just being paranoid, and shouldn't worry about it?
