Driving around without centercaps

Is it bad/detrimental to the car or wheels drive around without centercaps. I ask because I ordered some caps but I wont get them before the wheels are put on and I dont want to have to take the wheels off again. I know its a stupid question but.....
Thanks.

(does anyone know if it is possible to get the flaming M centercaps out of am. muscle wheels, without taking the wheels off. I dont care if the caps get damaged.)

I ordered the Ford Racing caps and as opposed to taking the wheels off to change out the caps I just drilled a hole in them and pryed them off. Ruined the old caps but I didn't care about that.

Just drill slowly and you will be fine. You can also just smack them with a hammer and they will break. Once you take them off it is amazing how cheapy those center caps are made.

It wont hurt anything (other than your pride)to drive around without them.
