Not having centercaps bad to our cars in any way?

I bought some 05-06 sedan18 inch sport oem rims recently and the buyer did not have the center caps. Ive been searching for several days and cant seem to find them anywhere. I was wondering if not having them on is damaging the rim or car in anyway. Will rain seep in causing rust and wear? If anyone knows where i can get them that would be much appreciated as well.

No issues with running no centercaps. It's just a cosmetic thing, & the centercaps from ur old wheels will likley fit, oem 17's etc.

Why don't you just pop the centercaps out of ur 17's and put them in the 18's? I don't see the huge issue? you can buy generic centercaps on ebay too, just messure how big the hole is.
