I had a 1.6 Pinto engined Mk2 when I lived in the UK in the early 90's, it went much better than I expected it to!

It has sat quite high since I have owned it, rather than because of any planning on my part. Made a bit worse recently by removing such weighty items as the towbar, roll bars (as in roll cage!) and rear windows - probably 60kgs out of the rear. It has always been the plan to lower it a bit, but I am not interested in the slammed look that seems to be fashionable these days.
The wheels are period, albeit new; US Indys. Even the back of the wheels is the same as the originals from the 1970's. It was a choice between these and Ansen Sprints, but the new Ansens have some detail which is not the same as the original wheels, which put me off. I am thinking about an alternative set of wheels, what do you all think about these?
