Default Center Caps, or Not?

Rotated my five Toyos at 5K last night and it drives as smooth as can be up to 80-85mph (didn't go any faster).
The maximum wear I have on any of the tires is just under 3/32" on the right rear.
Haven't re-installed the center caps yet, might run it this way a while.














Older photos of a clean Jeep with the Rock Monster center caps.

I like the look of them with the center cap. Either way, it looks spectacular!

I prefer it with the caps, but both look ok.

Thanks for the comments.

But the Hutchinsons really do look good without the caps, on a JK with stubby bumpers and trimmed factory fenders it would be more appropriate.

Like I read Schpeen said, whose red Jeep was almost cloned in silver by me (mostly unintentional), if I was to do anything different I'd have gone for a stubby or mid-stubby front bumper (FabFour Hardcore or Shrockworks mid) with Warn Powerplant and cut the fenders to match the Teraflex sliders.
Then the no center cap option would look right.
