Is there a problem running wheels w/o centercaps?

that's what I was wondering... >>
I've got my winter shoes mounted on 16" steelies and I've painted them silver to run w/o wheel covers, emulating a faux P-356 look. But I haven't found any inexpensive center caps that will fit. I sourced a set of Mk4 VW caps but they were for alloys and don't fit the steelies.
So I may have to run them without center caps, exposing the hub nut to water, snow and salt.

probably the worse time to run it if you get salt and water mixed in the hub area.
mine are pretty rusted already...and i have centercaps on...just think about how bad it would be without them.

yeah. I'll have to figure something out...
... or pop for winter alloys but I'd rather spend the money elsewhere. Hell, 4 alloys and the related mounting and balancing would cost almost the same as chipping!
