i believe you can use the Electric power steering, and also a saxo electric pump, but don't know how difficult or expensive it is to do ??

13" standard wheels, don't think alloys would change the handling that much though, maybe 17"s would.

EPS is the way forwards, get an Electronic Power Steering column from a B or a C and get the kit from Harry Hockley or figure out the wiring yourself - there is a link somewhere on here to the site. Much better than hydraulic.

i found fitting alloys made no difference to how heavy my steering was.
If thats the only reason your thinking of doing it I wouldnt bother 
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
