Exposed Axle?

Is it bad to leave the center caps off your wheels? The end of the axle is exposed will this damage it?

Thanks , Dan

not really... might even make water evaporate faster.

i dont run center caps on my tuner/sport wheels. i never
ran with them when i had my Comps. if the rust bothers you,
you can use some enamel engine paint to paint it. i used
a flat black engine enamel on mine. looked good.
