Just leave them independent.  Depending on your ground conductivity, they 
may improve the gain of the inverted vee by a few tenths of a dB.  Since 
your inverted vee is a balanced antenna, there shouldn't be any need to 
connect the radials to anything (assuming you use a current balun at the 
feedpoint to reduce common mode feedine current).

The radials could be used for lightning ground on the coax coming from the 
inverted vee.
