Thanks Craig - was wondering about that.

Just a few pieces more:

The 91+ Escort had 15x5.5" wheels (at least my '91 did.)  Don't know about
the ZX2.  We found a set of 15x6 Miata ones at 1-800-usedrims (maybe
188-usedwheels?) (I think that was the number).  They have factory takeoff
wheels - not a great prices, but...
