well I ordered my rims from wheelmax.com and they finally came in yesterday. I haven't been able to look at them yet but I'm hoping they are balanced and are exactly what I ordered. I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow.

I heard all the bad about the site but the price couldn't be beat so I had to get them and see for myself.

all the tires were at 35psi so I put 44psi and everything was perfect. there is a very minor scratch on the lip of one rim but for $560 I can't complain.

I don't know where you got the idea of inflating your tires to 44 psi. All the passenger car tires I've seen have a maximum rated pressure of 45 psi. This is the the maximum pressure the tire can take before approaching bursting point. Drive it a few miles on a hot day, you can easily exceed this maximum limit.

Get it back to 35 psi before you kill yourself on the freeway from blown tires!

Agreed, you are asking for blowout. Have you read the side of tire to see max? I wouldn't drive around above 35psi for long periods of time. It must be like riding on rocks too.
