i haven't done mine since i bought the wheels about 6 weeks ago

How did you not notice rob 
I span my nova once on 3 balds and one with tread had 8psi in 
Had only just started driving and didn't have a clue. Tyre pressures and tread are 100% important to keep checked.

You may have fucked the inside of your tyres running them at 5 psi.
