Are exposed hubs a problem?

[HogKiller]

I just swapped wheels, and these steelies leave the front hubs exposed. Will this become a problem over time? I’d love to cover them with a chrome cap for aesthetics, but these wheels aren’t machined with a relief for that, and after installing the GTW chrome center caps, I didn’t feel like it was safe.

I think that model is supposed to have the black plastic bearing covers.

I agree dust cover for your brand of cart may fit. Check site sponsor or amazon example below. Someone may chime in and let you know if it will fit or not depending on your cart.

I don't think the wheels have anything to do with the dust caps.

You can pick up black flexible dust caps and Autozone or Advance. You do need them if those are open bearing (packable/non-sealed)

Not a mechanical problem to not have them, the bearings are sealed and will not be harmed, but it will make the center of the hub look much better.

You can also clean the hubs with degreaser and a stainless steel wire brush, then prime with a good automotive grade primer and paint them any color you want.
