IIRC CossEH alloys were 15", the 14" ones were from Fiestas and Escorts (RS Turbos perhaps)

14" was only the 90 spec xr3i and they where optional fit at that.

The offset will almost certainly be different as well being for FWD Ford rather then RWD

I saw your post yesterday and though I hope they are cosworth ones as you hav'nt said what size they are! (second most important bit of
information when selling wheels after what PCD they are and fit)
As posted above the 14" items where on the 3i's
C
Sapphire cosworth 'cross spokes' only come in the 15" flavour 
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

If you google "Sierra Cosworth" and look at images, there are a couple of cars with those wheels on.
You might get a more definitive answer on one of the many Ford forums around.

The 35.5 is the offset which refers to how far offset the mounting face is from the centreline of the wheel. Important for keeping the wheel/tyre in
the right place track wise and rubbing on suspension or bodywork and over stressing the wheel bearing.
They're definitely Ford rims so the PCD will be 4 x 108mm - i.e. if you draw a square with the bolt hole centres at each corner each side of the
square will measure 108mm.
(Hope I'm not teaching egg sucking here )

stock cossie wheels are 15x7 with a 40 off set. All ford wheels are 4x108 PCD.
