Just blasted and painted my rims and they look beautiful. I ordered a new set of hub caps and when I tried to put them on they are all a shade small for the rim hole. The clips on the new caps are all straight and do NOT have a bend in them to "snap" in to the rim like the old ones. I don't want to start trying to bend the clips with pliers as that seems like it might make it worse and uneven. Such a simple thing is now a chore. Any ideas on what to do?? Thanks, Jim PS did a search on hub caps an nothing came up.
