This one seeams a bit to easy to grab as it uses a bunch of skills a
thief/wizard is likely to have anyways. Maybe toss in Skill Focus as a
requirement? I'd increase all the ranks needed by one in any case as you can
possibly grab it at level 4 as is and that seems a bit to low. I'd toss in a
few ranks of perform too.

If you're following the format of the other prestige classes, the HD should
be just under the flavor text, and the alignment doesnt really need to be
listed (That would be one of the requirements and it's not really
restrictive so no point in listing it.)

I'd toss in Perform, again.  Seems like something that an 'actor' type would
need.

> Class Features
Seems a little bit to strong here.  The Imposter is still getting the same
spell progression as a regular wizard and the powers are a tad more powerful
then the bonus feats a wizard would get (IMO).  I would either increase the
number of levels in the prestige class and space them out more, increase the
penalties with Alteration Susceptibility, or change the spell progression to
either give him bonus spells that can ONLY be taken with 'disguise' spells,
or give them a modified spell list and progression chart.

 I'd also suggest tossing this up on the Prestige Class group on the Wizards
DnD site.  :) It's a fairly good prestige class as is and just needs a bit
of tweaking.
