Second opinion needed on shaking steering wheel.

Second opinion needed on shaking steering wheel.
Alright so since I put on my new tire/rim set from AM(3 weeks ago) I've had a slight shake in the wheel randomly at 45+ but sometimes it'll be gone at 80. I already had the tires re-balanced, had an alignment done and all that but still the bastard remains.
My next guess would be tire pressure-- 51 max and they currently vary from 35-39, from this I thought this might be the problem so I was going to get them adjusted a little. If that wasn't going to work I was going to see about getting either a road force balance(provided I can find someone), or see if someone can tell me if my wheels are off center. The tires being off center wouldn't make sense because they've been taken off/put back on by a few pro tire shops.
Oh and the stock tires never did this.
Edit:
What I've done:

Just in a haze, needed some input.

What I've done:
- Gotten an alignment
- Re-balanced
- PSI adjusted
- Took the rotor clips off
- Called AM, the wheels are hub centric.
- Cleaned the contact surfaces
- Torqued the lugs

I take it this little bugger is what you guys are talking about? I can see how the stock would clear and the new ones wouldn't...

I took the washer things off, I guess I completely spaced on taking them off when I originally put on the tires. Gonna take her out and see what happens.
Also AM said all their tire/rim packs are lugcentric.

You're not supposed to be running anywhere NEAR the max tire pressure stamped on the sidewall. START with the pressure recommended in the OM and on the driver's door jamb placard and then experiment . Most people are running 30-35 PSI; very few over 35 PSI.

My bad I meant to say adjusted instead of filled, they all now have 35 PSI, I took off the tires, removed the rotor clip things, cleaned the surfaces, put them back on and had them torqued. Everything sits flush, no play or anything.
It's still shaking, where in the world did I go wrong? It never did this with the stocks...
