Another excuse to whore my car.

Cups are a straight fit. No fuss, no spigot rings, nothing. They don't even rub on full lock.

Banded steels have a bad rep because of people trying to do DIY jobs and not taking the welding seriously. However, there are people like this:

Who I very sincerely recommend. Cheaper than scene wheels too :D

Bought these to it:

Then I have silver 340 13" steelies for winter tyres, no center caps, though.

Those seem to do the job quite well, imo.
