Default Steering wheel missaligned

We my old del sol wheel was starting to peel and separate and I replaced it with another oem del sol wheel. Now the wheel won't line up straight. When the car is travelling straight, the wheel is of a few degrees. I pulled the wheel again and tried straightening it, but the wheel only seemed to slide on either too far clockwise or too far counterclockwise. Any suggestions?

You could have the car aligned so that the wheel is straight, but that's just me.

Yeah, I would do the same thing, any place that does a 4 wheel alignment, just ask them to straighten the steering wheel, they have a thing that holds the steering wheel straight while they make everything perfect, I have the same problem in my Jetta, never got it 4 wheel aligned yet so O.O
