Ok what gives? You will see some real nice baller wheels and they have no centers just a big rusty center! What gives? Fugly if you ask me and it totally takes away from the wheel IMHO

I've seen this quite a bit too. I would at least paint the rusty looking part flat black or something until I could get some center caps. It makes the wheels look cheap with a huge rust center, and a gold axle nut in the back.

Too cheap to spring the $50 for caps? Its a JDM weight saver?

Depends on the wheel... I actually prefer the look without centercaps on most.

Post up the look you don't like.

Maybe those were knock-off's, so no fancy center caps to go with the baller wheels?

first thing I do with every set of wheels I get...

remove the center cap.

some racing orgs won't let you on track with center caps, cause they can pop off and become debris...although unlikely, it's not unheard of.

My track days don't want me to have center caps in.

Emotion CR-Kai doesn't have canter caps either.

Without center caps, I would buy huge colorful wheel nuts that were flush with the wheel.
