No, it's not OK. You'll soon hate it and, if you try to improve anything, everyone will know you're a chav.
As for the wheels, who cares?

It won't make any difference to how the car goes, but it isn't standard. All Sportings had alloys as standard.
If you regularly drive on pot-holed roads, steel wheels may be better as if they take a big impact they bend slightly, but are usually still drivable. Alloy wheels can fracture - although this is very rare.
However, it might be worth wondering what happened to the original alloys. If they were stolen, then OK, but if they were damaged, was the suspension damaged too?

Alloy wheels are definitely the standard on most bikes nowadays, ive always bought rims from mavic and they have always taken a battering. In fact the last two bikes i owned both cracked while the wheels were almost perfect! Different types of rims can be bought depending on how you ride and of course the more you pay generally the better the rims. Also alloy wheels will be a lot lighter and corrosion resistant . Hope this helps

I just hope whoever had it before you han't skmped on maintenance too. Otherwise, I can't really see it mattreing too much unless you're concerned with the look of the thing.
If you do get the alloys, tyres aren't cheap. Only Pirelli makes tyres in the standard size, and they're about £50-60 each.

I could fit that thing in my shoe!!! You will never make one of those cars cool, you need to put a pink steering wheel cover on it, pink seat covers, and pink dice hanging from the mirror. This will look extremely sad but that's ok cause it could then belong to one of these strange girlygirl things!!! If you were a guy before you bought that car though, you are not any more, no guy would ever buy such a pointless waste of scrap metal. That car can NEVER and I mean NEVER look cool!!!

Do you mean have you been ripped off? As it's a sporting model I believe it should come with alloys, not steels.

Yeah! Fine! I used to have one and it had alloys but it's only an aesthetic thing, so if you that bothered, you could buy a set of alloys fairly cheap...probably off Ebay of froma good scrapyard if you have one near-by.
