i did forward the pictures to the vendor and they are working on the problem. according to them they are in contact manufacturer. i do not want to expose the vendor or tarnish their reputation, they state they are working on the situation and i want to give them an opportunity to correct this. lets see what happens, if they do not resolve this i will identify them.

i just got home and UPS delivered the spacers this moring, 
but from what an earlier members post on the thread the wheels wouldnt fit with the spacers either....who knows...and i just looked at the spacers, the packaging says there 10mm
uhm the stock offset is 20. the offset on the front wheels that they sent me were ET35, so wouldnt i need at least a 15mm spacer to bring the 35 down to a 20?? its just problem after problem.

I really don't believe that it's a manufacturer error. The error lies in the vendor telling you the wrong offset. Do you see where it says 21mm less inner clearance? 525iEnjoy said the same thing earlier. The wheel was so far inside it scrapped up against the shocks. Don't blame the manufacturer on this. It's all on the vendor.

Right. Dont blame Manufacturer just let them know that the vendor is misleading. I dont think a 10mm will come close, butt you can try. PM me who the vendor is I wanna know so that I dont use them.

Um his rim being a replica has nothing to do with his issue. Its the offset of the rim like any rim be it OEM or not. And if no one new the BMW rims arent made in germany or any euro country. They are made in a Asian Country along with every other car dealers rims.
Any updates qillty?

Not seen a BMW sold rim , yet, with the stamp inside "made in CHina"
And incorrectly stamping would be a serious offense.
Got nothing to do with if I like replicas or not, have used many myself with perfect experiences, but all reps I used were manufactured in Europe, too.
gillty, what I don't get is that you had all correct and serious advice in your other post, where you asked if they were right by many knowledgeable people, all saying it wouldn't work, and you still went ahead and fitted them "to try"
Apart from the fact your supplier doesn't seem to have a clue, I wouldn't have put them on before I had the correctly sized wheels.
