    Winter tires and hubcaps

    I use a set of hubcaps on my winter steelies. Just read that this can destroy ( rust ) the wheels quickly, because salt accumulates between the 'cap and the wheel....

    Then again, you'd rust the lugs and can chip the paint off the steelies if you don't have hubcaps...

    Opinions / experiences?

    If they're painted it shouldn't be a problem. I've been through six winters already with the steel wheels and hub caps on my Pro and I haven't had trouble with rust. The only steelies I've ever seen rust are the ones that aren't painted.
