If they are different then it's their fault. I'll even have them measure it the correct way. I'm pretty sure the 2 barrels will be different.
Good night.

I gave them my old wheels. So they have it to measure everything for the replacements. It's not like I called it in and told them the measurements based on my measuring. I didn't give them any measurements. I pretty much said "I need a 1/2" more on the outer lip on the front and the rear to remain the same.

If you work with them, come forward. I don't mind if you speak your side of the story.

I'm aware the fronts I measured wrong. I'll admit to that. But the rears are the ones in question. You keep bringing up that I measured wrong. Even posting pics of how to measure.
But if the rears aren't the same as my old setup. Then where do we go from there. If they are the same. I'll come right out and apologize for my mistake. I'll even start another thread apologizing.
But if they aren't the same measurements. What will you do?
Just put yourself in my position. You just spent $900 for the rear wheels. Only to find out it's "off" by a 1/2" We'll talk tomorrow. The main reason why I kept these wheels and rebarrelled was because I like the deep rear lip. If I had known, I'd go with another company.

This is Joe from Donz/Rennen Wheels
1. I did not measure your car at all nor did anybody in my facility.
2. I told you numberless I wanted to measure your new car to see if the wheels even fit.
3. You took the wheels and put it on ur frinds m5 ( the one I was gonna measure for you)
you said they fit not a problem for the rear . And you just want to make the fronts wider .
4. I had you sign off on the sheet that is what you requested .
5. And yes your rear wheel is a 20x10 with a 5" lip .. that same thing you had before
6. your m5 does not have the same wheel fitment as you regular 5 series .

2. I didn't have my car at the time. I was in the process of buying it. All M5 are the same.
3. Exactly. No problems in the rear. So if you took the measurements of the rear and replaced them with the same measurements. It should be no problem. I'll check it when I see you today.
4. I signed off.
5. I said I want the rear to be the same. I said 5" because the original person who got made the wheels said they were 5" lips. He works with you too.
6. Like I told you before. M5 and 545i have the same rear. Only difference is the front of the M5 has a wider fender.

So where do we go from here? If the barrels aren't the same when we measure it. Will I get new barrels? Same as the old barrels? Also will it be in a timely fashion. In about 4 weeks? You're not going to prolong it right? From what you guys did to me on Saturday. Say its done Tuesday. I come in 10am Saturday and you make me wait all day to give me my wheels. Everytime I asked, are they sealing it now? You guys said yes. I go back there, they didn't even take it out the box take assemble it. You guys might do it in spite and make me wait months.
If the barrels are the same measurements. I'll apologize to you. Make another thread apologizing. And never bother you again.
