I have a 2009 4x4. I like the look of the truck with the hub caps removed. Does anyone see an advantage to keeping them on?

If you think it looks better go with it, no ill effects of not having them come to mind.

Only thing I could think of is extra exposure (to the elements) of the black cap thingy (grease cap?), covering the hub nut.
