Running without centre caps

[N4TH4N]

Had my standard 182 alloys refurbed not so long ago. They painted the caps but being plastic it never looked 100% to begin with.

The paint has started to peel and seems like false economy having them painted again as apparently as it's plastic they can never get them just so.

So just wondering if anyone runs without them. I cant decide if the alloys look good without them. Any thoughts?

They can be painted to match.
But not if the wheels have been powder coated.
Demand wet paint on caps and wheels.

Any thoughts?

In the nicest possible way.. no one, if they even notice, will care. It's about as trivial as worrying what colour boxers to wear.

People avoid looking at 182 alloys full stop.

Looks rubbish without them.

Always wet paint wheels. Caps protect the bolt heads from corrosion and the all important shaft nut.

Ouch. Thanks all.
