4 rubber bands should do it! just remember the lower the profile the worse the ride and more chance of sqauring ur wheel on potholes etc but the better it looks! find somewhere in between usually personal preference.

Sound like G40 alloys, would have looked a bit strange to be honest so don't beat yourself up over it!

You need to go wide to carry off small diameters, and one thing G40 wheels aint is wide.
