So I am a proud owner of ASA JS1's (I decided to stick with 16s for my own reasons) with Yokohama Avid H4s. Love the setup so far, bug difference from stock steel rims.

Here is my questions.
Should I keep the hub "caps" on or take them off. If I take them off, than the extra holes are exposed. I just can't make up my mind on this one. Minor detail, but it buggs me. Any feedback to sway me either way is appreciated.

Those rims look great! However, I would definetely leave the hubcaps on, since the rim will match the smooth and clean contour of the car.

Keep them caps ON. Speaking of the "Contour" of the car, those rims remind me of a Contour SVT. Very nice!

Thanks! I was not sure, now I can get that monkey off my back.

P.S. I love these rims. They are light (18.5lb without tire), they seems to cool my breaks better and they "feel" very solid. I love the tires too, I have been looking lately for some rain, so I can corner with these babies on wet pavement, since my last set was not so good at higher speeds (but what OEM setup is).

I'll disagree with everyone else. I like the look of the exposed holes and lugnuts. Though they're much different than the stockers, I think they look almost too plain with the caps on, like something you'd see everyday.

THe caps on makes it look very smooth and classy. However, with the caps off, the rims look more sporty and muscular (though a tiny tiny bit smaller)

I would have to agree - I like them off as well.
