Center caps and Closed end lug nuts add weight so of course its lighter and smarter to go with the open end lugs to save some weights and the center caps, who needs them too. Its a added not needed weight and liability 
Just think of what would happen if that heavy center cap came off on a race track? That could fly off the car at a 1,000,000 miles per hour and hit some one or even worse some poor fellow eating ice cream!! My point is why take the risk of those things.

It's not a matter of weight, the center caps weigh slim to none, and the purpose of open end lug nuts are for people running extended lugs so they are able to poke out a bit since they are longer
O well some people can't take a joke
