Just won these on ebay. Will they fit a mitsubishi colt?
Or is there something more to consider than ET46 & 4 stud?

You need to check the PCD (pitch circle diameter) aswell as the offset.
http://whichwheelsfit.com/index.php/pcd-explained it also tells you which will fit your car. If i read it right those ford wheels wont fit your colt.

When fitting a wheel to a hub, there are 3 things you need to worry about:
1. Bolt pattern (already discussed)
2. Center bore - this usually isn't a problem with aftermarket wheels, but if you are trying to put wheels from a different car on yours, this should be a big consideration.
3. Lug seat - Almost all aftermarket wheels use a tapered seat, and many are not compatible with the stock lug nuts due to the size of the lug seat.
There are other fitment issues as well:
1. Offset - This can cause the wheel to stick in or out of the fender too far
2. Width
3. Clearance on the inside of the wheel (for the brakes)
Other considerations:
Many people replace wheels because they are damaged (bent, cracked, corroded, or scuffed up/chipped), almost all used aftermarket wheels (and many factory wheels) fall into this category. In other words, don't buy used aftermarket wheels unless you can have a good tyre shop inspect them first, and it would be a good idea to do that with factory wheels as well. Your best option is a new set of aftermarket wheels (because they are probably cheaper than new factory wheels).
Bends and corrosion are not always visible which is why I said you should have it inspected by a tyre shop so they spin it on a balancer (to make a bend obvious, and dismount the tyre (if it has one on it) to inspect the bead seat for corrosion (I wouldn't buy a wheel that is corroding anywhere, cause it is just going to get worse).
