As im sure has been said before... The only serious downside i have ever been told - never done it meself, is that the taper on the drum can force the recess on the back of the alloy, so stressing it and making it more liable to crack.
Oh yeah, make sure you have the correct wheel nuts too!
Alloys also are not as strong, so they are obviously not as good off road.

I’m back
my landy garage has just put them alloys on a customers 90 and he ground back the inner taper of the alloy as if you bolt it on as is it doesnt sit flat against the drum and therefore isnt as strong as it could be.you will need the alloy wheel wheel nuts aswell not the standard nuts.

i have been trying to get a set of wolfs for ages but it seems that people want silly money for them, plus i only want the rims and no tyres which seems alot harder to get
