Exact cost is $2,550. At first it was $2,200. But the wider fronts means they would have to be 3 piece instead of 2. Plus $250 on TPMS. Which he told me $200 first. I asked for a better deal than that. He said he'll take $5 off each TPMS. When I got there to pick them up, he said $250 like that conversation never existed. He says shipping is included. I said fuck it. I just want my wheels. Not exactly $3,000. But I would be willing to dish out extra for something like DPE or something if I had known.
For the fronts. I basically asked for a 1/2" more on the outer lip. Retain the same total size but add the 1/2" on the outside. They said okay. I told them rear must be the same.
What pissed me off was they charged me $20 to mount 1 tire which took about an hour.
They didn't even assemble the rest of the wheels. Said its available to be picked up Tuesday. Come Saturday. They didnt even seal the front wheels. (3 piece) Only one wheel was done. Which they charged me to mount the tire. That's like a slap in the face. Charging me when they didn't do anything they said they did. Wasting my time. Took them all day to pickup my wheels. They like put me on hold and worked on other customers or something. While I was waiting an hour for that 1 tire to be mounted. They told me they were sealing the fronts now. I go back there. They didn't even start. It's still in the box. Got there at 10am. Didn't get them til 6:30pm. I was hanging out at Motorcepts most of the day.

First off... you SHOULD NOT be driving on the wheels when the silicone hasn't even dried yet!!!! Also, for them to mount the tires when the silicone isn't fully dried means they could potentially damaged/break the silicone seal before you even mount the wheels on your car, resulting in either a slow leak or even worse..
Those Donz guys are f-ing beyond help... FYI I believe RENNEN is the same company as Donz, so beware..

I think it's just the East coast. They didn't do a good job. Poor customer service. They said they were going to ship the wheels back and have them make and assemble the wheels. But I think they just called the West coast and told them to build the lips and send them to the East Coast. They still have my bent up original barrels. Which doesn't make sense if they shipped it back. They won't ship messed up barrels back to the East coast.

I confirmed it with Michael at Acute. But the rear wheels are the problem. They said it's the same measurement as my old ones. But from the picture, they aren't the same.

Pic of the FRONT 20X10 
Not the best angle. But I can assure you they are 10" wide.
