Default Center of wheels?

Hi, I noticed today that 1 of those little round dodge ram head caps (about 2" in diameter) was missing from a wheel. I took the other 3 off, because it kind of looked stupid missing 1. Is it okay that this center part of the wheel is exposed? (we just got like 4" of snow here, roads have salt on them) Thanks

should be fine those little caps don't offer much in terms of protection form the elements, its mostly an aesthetic piece.

Okay cool thanks. What did you end up doing with your truck, by the way? I remember reading a post about it, but never read anything about what you did with it.

Sweet, the junk yard will solve almost anything. Nice truck dodgeramguy, I'm working on getting a cb and those tires! And yeah I don't really care about not having them so I'll save the 2 bucks or however much they would cost and by like 3/4 of a gallon of gas ha ha.

Yeah, I saw your post on that with pictures and I gotta say... those things look SICK!!! About how much for both did it cost? Although I may have to go another route, since I have a fiberglass tonneau cover.

Yeah not sure how you would rig up with the tonneau but I got all my stuff at the local cb shop I think it was 62 something(thats for 2 antennas,18 feet of coax,connectors and mounts). You can find kits on ebay and other places a little bit chaper.
