At $1400 for a set of true forged wheels that's a bargain, in fact suspiciously so. I hope you were not expecting rota-level prices.

They should not come off if you torqued them properly. 26 ft/lbs on overpipe bolts, 22 ft/lbs for header studs. Drive around and allow them to heat cycle, then re-torque. After that it should be good.
