Exclamation Steering wheel off center

I have a 2017 718 Boxster S I replaced the oem steering wheel with aftermarket Carismo steering wheel, this was done at a local reputable shop but after a day I noticed the steering wheel is slightly off to the right when the car is tracking stright. I did not have issues with alignment or steering being off center before the wheel change.

Is it because they didn't put the steering wheel on straight ? Or will a simple toe/alignment adjustment fix this? Should I have them take off the steering and out on again?

If you didn't have a wheel alignment, then reinstalling the steering wheel is the right way to fix it.

That being said, adjusting the steering from under the front of the car is just as quick, probably easier job to bring it back to centre.

Yeah , that's what I was thinking just doing it that way under the car but will this have any effect or long term effect on steering or alignment? If the tie rods are adjusted this way.

Have the "local reputable shop" realign and properly install the steering wheel. It's their bad.

OBTW, you've posted on the 911 991 forum.
