locking hubs and new wheels

I'm looking to get some new wheels for my 04. I currently have locking front hubs. When buying new wheels, am I going to have to look specific for wheels with front locking hubs? Or can I buy any wheel and just not have access to the hubs?

are u talking bout rims or tires? if ur talking bout rims, u can get one wif an open hole in the middle, or if it's gonna be covered, i wont be too worried cos ur front locking hubs are usually automatic. ur 04 should have esof. as long as u dont have to manually set ur 4wd by getting out of the car to do it, then ur good wif some fancy rims.

I thought this might have been the case, but I wasnt positive since the rears have the center caps. Thanks for the response!
