Question Mazda 800! I need some help with some hubcaps...

I've got a new project on my hands, it's a 1964 Mazda 800 Wagon/Estate...

I've got a 10a Bridgeport to go into it, with luck, the engine will be ready to assemble in about a months time, once it's balanced and bridgeported...

I need to upgrade the brakes and diff, then comes the question of which stud pattern to run...

Then I came across this picture of an 800 in Japan!

Can anyone identify the hubcaps on it?

They may not be a mazda item, they are not original 800 hub caps, I have some of those, but I'm at a loss for what these are off!

So look like I've got a few options then...VW or Hotrod!

I think this would be my best bet, can have bigger wheels than what on the 800 at the moment by running standard rims and hubcaps...then if some wheels come up that I like which will suit, I can always change.

And I think they'll go with the sleeper image I'm after...but then the brap brap of the bridgeport could ruin that!
