    Doing a tire rotation and wondering if the center cap on the wheel does anything but look out of place?

    On, your truck isn't about being discrete. Looks odd without them.

    I like the look of no cap. You can always hit the exposed hub with a little paint if needed.

    I like the look better with them off for sure. I was thinking maybe they keep out the sand etc, but yeah the hub cap is on there for a reason.

    I ran T Force wheels for years with no center cap and no issues. They are purely aesthetic from what I can tell. I did have some weird orange markings on one exposed wheel hub, but I masked off and painted the hubs with hi-temp black paint, and they looked great.

    I had these exact wheels on my JK Rubicon. I ran with the center caps off. I hate the caps that came with them. Gaudy as hell
