[DeTomaso] PI Motorsport Rims and my calipers

[Rob Dumoulin]

Thanks everybody.  I called PI back and they said the rims were developed
from a car that did not have that issue.  Since I called a few weeks back,
others have also called and he had new caps made that should fit.  He asked
me to send them back and he will replace them.  I might have been the first
to buy them.  I love the way they look and especially love having 13 inch
wide tires on the back that tuck under non-flared fenders.  I got mine off
of ebay (new) for cheaper than PI is selling them retail.  They have a Make
Offer price. Just bid a few hundred less than it and slowly go up until they
accept.

"Alone we are but one voice. Together we are a squeaky wheel.".....or
something like that.
