I prefer the GB's Gareth. The slots suit a 70's mini saloon (or clubman) but just don't look quite right on the pick-up.

The GB's only have 145 tyres on them right now but if i keep them i'll stick some 165's on them so will look even better.

GBs (Minilite look) on a Saloon, but the Pickup favours the Slots.

GB for classic look.
Slots for custom look.
I would put the slots on.
