Default XR3 wheels?

I fitted the original wheels back on to my XR3i about 6 months ago and have decided I wanted to fit a different set (and some that filled the arches better) Has anyone got any suggestions on what wheels to get?

Was considering them though about minilites but they're a bit small and I don't think they match the age of the car

Late model rs2000 wheels?

Escort cosworth wheels always look good on most fords, but it may affect the handling and they wont be the cheapest wheels any more.

RS2000 wheels do look good but I think the soft lines do look a bit better

Softlines would look cool on it! Mrs had a cabrio identical to that, had my RL7s on it for a while, that looked really good too!

Thanks for all the suggestions really leaning towards the mondeo wheels or softlines but did think of these but I don't know whether they would fit the age of the car

I think it looks good with the originals on, and it'll probably always run the best on those.
