i can tell you he is, and i dont even know the kid haha nah all it is is they overdone the tolerances for the bearing slots which every kid was complaining about but its only because they dont know how to put a bearing in a wheel. the 2 things you can do is 1. file down the spacer till there is no side play(make sure you have a spare incase you fuck it up) and 2. use tape or paper or if you dgaf about your bearings, glue them in.

yeah i had this problem with my spoked proto grippers. i just cut up an eastern sticker and wrapped it around the bearing and then put them it the wheels and they fit fine now so there is no play. you could also just get ride of the spacing inbetween your bearings or file it down but then your wheel wont spin quite as well.
 
its cuz u dont put in bearing right u are ovalizing it so now u have to put tape around ur bearings and then put ur bearings in
