Wire wheels or Alloys?

[Greasemonkeycat]

I am planning to buy a Mk1 Roadster and would like to know the forums views on wire versus alloy wheel. I know the alloys are a bit lighter....I dont know how much,....and therefore the unsprung weight is better with alloys.Could anyone tell from driving the car what wheels were fitted? Anyone know the cost to swop hubs etc for the other wheels?
