What sort is it? Low spec 3dr isn't it?
Grant's suggestion is good, something motorsport-esque usually suits most things quite well.
Or if it's on a budget, a set of S2 RST rims, Saph Shark Tooths, that kind of thing is always a good choice.

There was a big thread on here somewhere for base model Escorts, should be a good source of inspiration!!

I do like the Comps, but would depend on the price to be honest, any idea what sort of money they fetch?

I'm thinking that would look mega!
Know of anywhere that sells them? POTN has them listed but have always say unavailable.

Not sure mate..... do see some cropping up on ebay now and again, although usually staggered. (and the 9s would need some work to go on, although it would be worth it!).
How about going tarty with some BBS RS rims (or reps from Lenso or Calibre etc)?
Image will make anything your heart desires, but you are over Ł1200 a set.
Stud convertors and something totally off the wall? Porsche, BMW or Jag rims?!

Okay, now you've really got me thinking
I thought about Image but they're a bit too deer.
Definitely thinking flat faces, don't suppose you know who do stud converters?

Very cool wheel, but to make them look right on the car you'll need to run very low profile tyres, very low ride height, and probably do a bit of arch work.

Oh I can't be doing with that yet, too much hassle for the time being.
My mate know's someone selling some Saph wheels so going to stick them on until I can find something. Maybe some old XJ wheels?!

You need to get over to wheelwhores for some inspiration on fitting alternative rims.
You can get adapters to fit almost anything as said above.
My mates buying some disco 5spokes for his golf. This shows some as an idea for you:
