If you really like those wheels (or the $1000-$1500 it'll take to replace 
them). you can either fabricate a couple of metal cups that fit under the 
wheel & protrude thru the hole, then glue a cut-down DeTomaso logo badge on the 
front of the cups. Fortunately, you only need two   of these for the 
fronts. It may even be possible to somehow fasten logo-covers to the dust caps, 
leaving a small space between their backside and the wheel. From 10 ft away, 
the space will be invisible.
Second way is to space the wheel outboard enough to let a flat logo cover 
fit on the wheel- and the flat cover will also need to be glued on. 3-M 
Weatherstrip adhesive works well and allows removal (with some difficulty). This 
will also require longer wheel studs to compensate for the spacer thickness. 
All are do-able if you're handy. FWIW, I like your wheels. 
Q#2- the calipers are stock iron Girlings for Panteras- quite advanced for 
the early '70s. Good Luck- J DeRyke
