Hi all,
I just bought some rims that didn't come with center caps. I am worried about my rear hub since it does not have a grayish cap hub like the front ones do. Am I fine without them? I do not want anything going into the hub damaging the bearing or anything. Sorry if this is a newbie question. Thanks!

if you're concerned then get some center caps..? they're plastic...they're not like a million dollars or anything. the rear never came with the cap like the front has.

I do have the nut and pin. I don't want like water and stuff getting into it. Indeed I am a little paranoid but thank you for answering my question.

no not those metal caps, they were only designed for the fronts.
just get actual "center caps" for the rims if you're concerned about anything flying in there. i currently don't have any, and i am not worried about anything going in there at all.

Yeah, I also tried finding the center caps for them and see if there are universal center cap but came up with nothing. I guess I will just take your advice clark and just leave them alone. If you do find any Tomei center cap PM me! Thanks

There are no caps for the rear. Water intrusion is normal, they're fine.
