The chaps over in the Sporty section may be able to help, I suggest you call in there.

The old wheels were drilled on both sides for brake rotors and they made a cover that simply bolted down in the brake rotor holes to cover the hub. Your wheel appears to not have the holes so there is no way to mount one of these. You can call Joe at ***** Shiny and he can make a replacement spacer for you that would cover that side of the hub...
