for the sake of being paranoid i stopped by a reputable tire store on my way to work, and had them check out the wheels tires... they took them off, checked the threads per my request, check the balance and roundness of the wheels, and basically added a quarter ounce of weight to one wheel which was slightly out of balance, and sent me on my way.

I specifically told them to check the thread area for stregth, and to check the roundness. Everything was perfect, they said that they have seen shaved wheels before, and these were done properly, and safely...

The car is smooth as butter.

Hope this helps!
