Leave them off if you're going to bring your car to the track for laps.
But if he leaves them on, then they can be track projectiles and he can hit the other cars on the road.

Why? If they're anything like my center caps, they really lock in, there's no way in hell one would ever fall off. Or is there another concern?

It can't possibly be weight since they are plastic and at the center of rotation so the torque to move them is moot (uhm)
 
Air trapped in that pocket can heat up at the track, causing the caps to explode off the wheel. As with all exploding things it's kinda cool actually, except for the part where you leave track debris.

Don't think it's really air tight back there... Maybe on 007's car, but I'm pretty sure he controlled his with a button...
 
Looks way better on. Alternately, you could go Rogue-style, and have a set of stock Mazda-logo center caps painted to match, if they fit. His look totally badass.
