"teen with a dream" new rims

so, something im more curious about than anything, but i do plan on doing it one day, is that i have a 95 with 4WD and manual front locking hubs, so that would mean i hafta keep the centers right? and ill admit, i dont know alot about rims, but how many like awesome black rims are there out there that dont have a peice in the center, so u can put it around the manual hubs?

I'm not sure what you mean by "center piece."
Could you clarify the question?

I've never seen a wheel come with the centers... that's a snap-on piece that is just for looks.

I won't say all because maybe not all, but as far as I know every rim comes with the center hole I side the circle of lug nuts missing. They center over a hub locking or not. You need to go and take some wheels off of some cars

By "centers" do you mean a hub cap? rims will come bare no matter what, unless you buy from another aftermarket source.

go down a little bit on the page, you'll find them here. I have 2 on the back of my 92 4Runner. they have open faced ones for the fronts as well.

but regardless... why would you want to cap off your manual hubs? you would have to jack up your truck, pull the wheel/tire off, spin the face and then repeat everytime you wanted to go into 4wd. waste of time and money i'd say. Just cap off the rears, and repaint/polish your manuals. they'll be nice and shiny.

as far as those center covers, you can keep them, they are just for looks though, but some people have cut a hole in the center cap so they can keep them and still access the locking hub. I am sure if you search you will find out what I am talking about.

MAK I think he's talking about the caps on the alloy wheels not the steelies.

Half the photos are missing but this I found easily:
