Can anyone help with a winter tyres question...?

Hi all,
I am 500 miles into my new Fiesta Mk 7 Edge (15" steel wheels) and as I mentioned in my Newbies introduction, I am interested in kitting myself out with a set of winter tyres.
I am attracted by my mytyres.co.uk offer of complete steel wheels and tyres.
Problem is that navigating through mytyres website throws up a host of queries and I'm not sure I'm selecting the right wheel so I would be glad of any help from you Fiesta experts (Mytyres haven't been much help on the phone, they seem to think I should know all the answers as it's my car!)
So here goes:
Select manufacturer - that's easy enough.
Select Model - well that seems straightforward at Fiesta l - but then the page throws up Fiesta i - not Fiesta L!! I have told mytyres this must be wrong, but they have not replied.
Car Type then throws up a load of options, which mean little to me, but I am guessing at:
JA8 1388ccm 71 kW BJ.10.2008 four hole steel wheels
I am OK with the rim size at 15" and the tyre size 195/50 R15
At this point, there are about seven wheel and tyre offers, but I am still worried that the wheels might not actually fit for some unforeseen reason. Can there really be so many different wheels for a basic new Fiesta!? Can any of you tell me if I've got it right?
Thanks...

Just thought I'd close this one out by saying I sifted through all the jargon and was able to get the right winter tyres/wheels. Very pleased with the deal - £360 all in, for four winter tyres and four wheels so I hope I am well set up for driving this coming winter. Just hope that winter tyres are all they're cracked up to be! :pray:

Winter tyres are ideal, might be the difference between stopping in time or hitting someone/thing.
