BST Wheels front and rear set mismatched

I finally took the BST wheels I got a few months ago for my R1200S into my local shop with new tires. Then after that I brought the bike in.

The plan was to put the new tires on the new wheels, take the old wheels and tires off the bike, transfer the rotors to the new wheels, and put on new wheels with new tires. Yet, it turns out there was big problem as the rear wheel was OK, but the front was too wide and measured for a K1200S front wheel. It not is, but the box label says 17 X 3.5 so it is wrong.

I confirmed with the vendor it is wrong, he even discovered he has another mismatch set there. He is sending me a R front wheel now, and I have to send back my K wheel.

I only hope it comes in time to fit before I leave 7/13 for the MOA National.
