How can any non-OEM wheels work on the performance model when the performance model has the stepped hub with the lip? I just got some wheels from Tire Rack and all they included is a standard centering ring in the wheel. Seems like the centering ring will now just sit against the hub lip and the rest of the hub won’t actually be seated against the wheel center.

I bought these on eBay, but haven't had a chance to install the new wheels yet. The aftermarket wheel hub bore needs to be 73.1mm.

These are what you're looking for. You can use any hub ring with them: Performance Hub Stepped Lip Delete Kit
Or you can buy hub ring made to account for it like @HORN HIGH ACES posted.
Or you buy wheels specifically made for the Model 3 performance that accounts for the lip so you don't have to worry any lip delete or hub rings.

So it looks like what Tire Rack does is just make sure the wheel itself can fit over the lip, then supply a centering ring for the proper 64mm smaller part of the hub. Then when you install the wheel the lip pushes the centering ring further into the wheel. Does this seem acceptable? I’m trying to figure out if all it takes is a regular centering ring then why are there all these things online about the stepped rings and special wheels with the lip accounted for in the design. Trying to determine if I should send these back because it’s an improper way to account for the lip, or if it’s okay and I should keep them.
