If there is no damage to your wheels..
and enjoy them
When I was a kid, new bikes always had those plastic axle end covers. Your bike wasn't "broken in" till those were torn up and gone. My last set of wheels were shipped with these little covers and they had a big piece of cardboard taped to them to keep the axles from punching through the box.
consider yourself lucky. Check out some of the shipping boxes (or lack of ) these bikes arrived in.
