Hey guys I got my s15 wheel in by searching lots and reading all the info I could but i have one lil problem and that is that the wheel is not centered.. Did any of you guys have this issue? Its either too much to the left or too much too the right. My car may need an alignment soon cause it pulls slightly to the right but I dont think it will cause the wheel to be out that much, especially considering the s14 wheel was straight.
Any advice would be appreciated, I hate that its not centered

can you flip the hub around?

wtf are you talking about^. Mine was centered perfectly you may want to take you wheel off and try to realign it on the spline again. A alignment will help it but slightly.

When you take it to get aligned be sure to tell them that it is off center. They can fix it for you. There are splines on the wheel where it connects to the hub. Also there are more where the universal joint connects to the steering column either of those could be adjusted to get your desired wheel angle. But then again you could do it your self, its not hard at all.
I just drove down a straight long street that was not busy and stopped in the street periodically to make adjustments.

Sounds like your rack is off center.
Take your steering wheel off, take your tie rods off, center your rack, slap your tie rods on, and get it aligned.

Its also a good time to check the steering rack bushings and replace. They wear out and cause the rack to shift about.

Thanks for the tips guys. There are small alignment marks on both the wheel spline and the steering column spline, they don't like up, hence why's its always off. I'm gonna talk to my alingment guy see what he says and go from there.

S15 wheel becomes fabulous when you hook up the turn signal cancellation mechanism and horn.
