If you could both snap and post a pic that would be great to help others decide, I didn't want to chance a set not fitting correctly and went with the CVO grills.
I didn't want to spend all this money completely re-doing my audio again and then buy cheap grills that didn't fit and have it be an eye sore for me.

So my BT 6.5 speakers and RF grills pictured above, as well as a BT supplied set of grills came in yesterday. I go to install them and the RF grill won't fit into the recess. I got out a ruler and did some measuring. The recess has a slight taper to it, and by eye it looks to be 6 3/4 across the flat botton. The RF grill is 7 inches across, the BT is 7 3/16. These are not genuine HD lowers, they're the Mutazu knock offs so I can only assume that the recess is smaller than a genuine CVO enclosure. Now what? I don't like the look of a flush mounted speaker (that I'd have to space out). I previously ran a set of grills from a failed set of Polk MM 651's with the Infinity 62.11's. I guess I'll try those next.

I have knock off lowers and the RF's didn't fit either, and a set of Focals that were supposed to fit, I had to cut. In the end the expensive CVO ones fit perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cheap ones are actually metric, but who knows? I suspect yours being genuine is the difference.
