So what you are saying is that the links will have images, but you
will do them as backgrounds? If they are without text, it's going to
be hard to make them look good. Centering is one option, but I might
have a couple better ideas:

1. Text links with non-repeated background images, like here:

With text on one side and graphics on the other, they can separate but
still be balanced.

2. Inline image links. You can use this technique for the rollovers:

or look in the comments for a possibly better technique:
http://www.thevisualprocess.com/dev/rollover
or you could just use Javascript rollovers... unobtrusively, please.
This way you can make the images 100% of the container width, so
they'll scale with the column; this has problems of its own, since the
images probably won't look too good. It depends on the images used.
Some images scale better than others.

Hope it helps.
