It describes how far apart the four bolt holes are (strictly, it's the diameter in mm of the circle that the four bolts fall on). See here for more info:

Search for KA and Escort alloys too if you want cheap wheels for your Fiesta, but check the overall circumference will be the same-ish.

The overall tyre size will need to be similar as well as the wheel dimensions.

You cannot just take any old wheel and slap it on.

The pitch between the bolt holes need to match. The centre hole needs to be he correct size. The offset needs to be within set tolerances.

If you want alloys buy them from another fiesta. or buy a new set. Make sure you check the wheels for dodgy repairs.
Alloys can crack when kerbed. Dodgy people think spraying a thick coat of paint over the crack cures it.

And as mentioned dont forget to notify your insurance.
