Default Threw my 18's back on, now wheel pulls to right...advice?

as it says in the subject i bought a set of 18*7.5 w/ a 45 offset konig hurrys and wrapped them in 225/40/zr18 falken ziex 512s everything is was brand new btw, now i had them on before for only a couple of days in dec. but them i put em back on and drive everyday with them i'm just wondering why it would be pulling to the right i have 38 psi in all 4 tires now i've had some tire experience b4 but i just can't seem to figure it out heres what i think...

1) Tire Pressure is off
2) they were mounted and balanced wrong or weren't high speed balanced properly
3) maybe one of the rims isn't made right
4) do i need an alignment?

the specs of the rims and tires are identical to the optional enkei 18's that the dealer sells and i know they wouldn't let a car roll off the lot with that sort of probably any ideas what it might be? thanks

i would say, 2, that's the only reason i could think of for pulling. if the wheels wasnt made right, it wouldnt pull it would wobble or kick

It's not the balancing...have it aligned. My xB is doing the same exact thing right now. If I let go of the wheel just cruising it pulls me way to the right. It pulls a hard right between 60-80 mph and the steering wheels shakes like it's got parkinsons after 80.
