Bungle did you have the wheels banded for you or did you buy them from some one else?

i have since bought these (the green wheel)

Posted Image

Posted Image

6.5x15

they were sold as banded bay wheels but they aren't bay wheels as they are 15 inch and they aren't banded

but should be ok to go on the front

there is a lot more selection of off road tyres for a 15 inch rim
