Thoughts on ART Replica 171 wheels

Really happy with these on my model 3, I got the 19s.
Those who are looking at this wheel - ART Replica 171 -, it didn't fit on my 2019 Model 3 Dual Motor!! Yes, I thought it will, but it did not. Mechanic showed to me that it was not snug fit and moving around on hub! My model 3 build is Aug 2019, not sure something has changed from Tesla side on wheels, or ART/PMCtire sent me 'wrongly labelled' wheels. Contacted PMCTire and waiting their reply.
Or does this requires any extra hardware that they forgot to sent?
Anyone had any similar experience recently?

You didn’t list which wheel size you got with your car. Maybe you upgraded to the 19’s?
I have a May 2018 RWD with stock 18’s and it fit perfectly.
If you upgraded to the 19’s, maybe they have a different hub size.
Sorry, yea I forgot to mention. It is 18" only. After this fitment issue, I measured wheel center bore of the wheel and it is not 64.2mm as they claimed (in the label on the wheel), it is 70+mm. Could be a manufacturing/labeling defect and they sent me a 'performance' (P3D+) which has about 70.1mm wheel hub size per my knowledge.

Ok, I thought I should give an update on this, so may be helpful for someone in the future if they face same issue.
Apparently the wheels I received had issues. I reached out to DAI for details and this is what they said (wheel spec):
The Art Replica 171 (R17118003 and also R17118001) is manufactured with a dual step center bore. The first is 71mm and the second is 64.1mm. We manufacture the wheel this way so it can fit on both the performance and non-performance models.
The depth of the 71mm center bore is 6mm. Both R17118003 and R17118001 have this step lip design. Once the wheel is put flush against the vehicle hub it should enter the 64.1 center bore.
The Model 3 standard cars has 8mm hub length, which means at least 2mm should be there to touch on 64.1mm part of the bore (8mm - 6mm). But in my case it didn't happen because the wheel I received seems to have 9mm bore depth for the initial part so my car hub will never touch the wheel 64.1mm bore part.
I didn't want to take another chance and hassles to exchange another set of same wheels hence returned these and went with Replika R241.
