If i had some steelies id get them banded. I think 14s are a little on the small side and might look odd. But colour can also make or break a wheel . Any chance of posting a pic?

get yourself some cheap platic buity rings and centre caps for them. i bought a cheap set of 14" steels for my jetta for the winter and they came with plastic rings and caps so i painted them white and did the wheels black. you could mix up any colour combination you like.
