I've found a set of 14x6.5 +8 fronts, and 14x7.5 +7 rears. How will they fit on a NA6?? Much modification needed? Just running slightly lowered suspension (1" maybe), but if I were get coils and go lower....???

You will need to roll if you go lower
Maybe not with the 1" drop.

And Ma86s always came in 4x100, IMO there are better rims out there.

There are always Wats as well as Equips, good for the old school look. But MA86s look unique, needs matt black though xD

I need to seek out some new centre caps sometime for these wheels, but I really like them otherwise.

There should be a fair few on eBay, otherwise, there will definitely be plastic-coated round Enkei decals you can just stick on

I really like Enkei's style 8)

Dont waste your money, read my thread on restoring the Enkies I have. I fixed up the centrecaps that looked just like yours.

I read through your thread green-comet and your work on the wheels is amazing! What you've described about your caps I think must be the same with mine.

I did end up already buying some more caps from eBay, and while I expect they are not genuine, they are the gold tinted aluminium pressed discs like you have on your wheels. When I can I might give all of the wheels a whole refresh like you have done, rather than just change over the caps. :)
