Who here doesn't have center caps on wheels?

Anyone? I just put my new rims and tires on today, but didn't have an extra $50 for any center caps. Just curious to see how many people don't have any on.

I'm running black steelies and don't want them. If I was on a set of nice aluminum rims I would have them to keep a finished look to the wheel.

Running without the on Red the rims I bought with tires for her only had two center caps. The black steelies on my TJ have chrome caps but I'm tired of trying to keep them from rusting, a fight I'm always losing< so I'm taking them off next time I rotate the tires.

Not really.... they are only one more place for water and mud to collect..

If you put never-seeze on your threads of the hub nut, you won't have any problems.

jeep only had 2 when I bought it with stock steelies, changed rims to wider steelies and still didn't put them on, I don't like the look of any center cap on a steel wheel cause they stick out. Not so bad on aluminum because the wheel is thicker where it mounts and doesn't have to stick out. just my opinion
