[DeTomaso] PI Motorsport Rims and my calipers

[Rob Dumoulin]

They did supply the caps.  The back fit fine.  My front dust cap stops the
fronts from snapping in.  I was wondering if my hubs were non-standard or if
PI sold me an untested product.

Maybe I just need to chrome my dust cap and stamp an Isis on it.
