FYI - I just received the Nov/Dec issue of Grassroots Motorsports magazine.  
It had a wheel chart for those shopping junk yards for wheels to mount racing 
tires or snow tires.  According to the chart, the following car wheels are 
supposed to be interchangeable:

        91-92 Ford Escort       Acura Integra
        Geo Storm               82-89 Honda Accord
        Mazda Miata             Mazda MX-3
        87-92 Nissan Sentra     87-90 Nissan Pulsar
        All Saturns             85-90 Toyota MR-2
        Toyota FWD 4 lug        Toyota Crolla FWD
        Toyota Paseo

The article also stated that they did not catalog center bore size as it is 
supposed to be easily altered by a machine shop.  Just measure to center bore 
of the wheels you have and try to match or go bigger.  If you have to drill 
out the center bore, don't drill too much material as they say it will weaken 
the wheel.
