Default top flite wire wheels

Hello All
Question, since i have been in RC all my wheel have been plastic hubs and all control rods have been metal to plastic. This is to prevent static electric discharge that may cause radio interfearance. This is what i believe the reason was anyway. I am building a scale Pietenpol and have purchased Top Flite wheels when i was fiting them the light went on these have metal hubbs and landing gear is metal, the engine vibtation will cause static . Is this a problem with modern radio's or is this a problem from early RC radio's
Thanks for your input
Tom
