Wheel center caps optional for snows

[Campier]

I am going to buy wheels and tires for snow duty for my 2014 Silverado. I have found some economical steel wheels with the center exposed. Can I get by without a center cap? I don't know how the hubs are constructed. On the cars I have owned, there were exposed threads and nuts if I did not put the wheel covers on. 

I prefer the steel wheels for economy and so that I don't have to procure a second set of tuner lugs for my alternate wheels. Thanks

You could probably get by without the center caps but check these out:  ( I just run my 20s all year round with DuraTrac tires. )

Thank you. How do I secure them to the wheel? Do I have to drill holes and attach "clips"?

I am not certain if they just snap on or are held on with screws.  Maybe someone with these 17 inch wheels can answer this?

My 17" steel wheels have a special lug nut which has a threaded portion on them, the plastic fake lug nuts on the centre caps screw onto those.

That sounds like the wheel covers for my late, great Cobalt. Thanks for your advice, everybody !!

If you still need center caps, try going by the dealership. They have take-offs from people upgrading all the time, might be able to get them free if you ask nicely!
