These rims look really great.
I too have bought 15" rims for my C1, abd now in the prep stage to collect the bits and bobs to go along with it. i.e. spigot rings, spacers and etc.
Question for you: Did you have to add spacers? And did you have to add longer lug nuts? If yes what was your setup?
(I know the setup varies according to rim specs, but still i will have some idea)
Thanks,
Ride safe.

Thanks!
No spacers (Rims are ET38) and i use the lug bolts that was supplied with the rims, not sure if they are longer than stock or not, most probably they are. I think the easiest way for you to check if you need longer bolts is to take one wheel of, put a bolt trough it's hole and measure how long the bolt sticks out from the rim. Do the same on your alloys and if it differs, get the correct bolts. Also be sure that you have the correct type of bolts, there are two kinds. Spherical and conical, spherical are more common on steel wheels and conical usually is used with alloy rims. So even if the length of the bolt is correct you may have to get new bolts for the alloys anyway.
Using conical bolts/nuts on spherical wheels can result in loose nuts/bolts and may cause your wheels to fall off while driving, so be careful and get the correct bolts. Please ask a wheel shop if you are unsure of what bolts to use.
It is also important not to use too long bolts, since it may trash things behind the brake disc/drum.
