Steering wheel 'off center' after wood-grain wheel installation

so i've been 'fighting' with my dealership over this issue.

THey installed the 'appearance package' which included the wood-grain steering wheel.

first time, the wheel was crooked so I had to have it turned somewhat clockwise to keep straight.

2nd time, they re-aligned it but was crooked again, this time around counter clockwise to keep straight.

3rd time a charm? lol. they claimed to do a 4 wheel alignment and i dont know if its completely psychological...but i feel that i still have to keep the wheel a bit counter clockwise to keep straight. i'm aware of crowned roads and all...

just wanted to get everyones input on this. when it was stock before the wood-grain wheel install, everything was perfect. i test drove my 2016 civic on roads where i had to keep the rdx wheel crooked yet the civic drove straight.

It's normal.

Did they need to remove the steering wheel to apply the stickers?

If so, it's most likely just a notch off on the pinion.

If not, then odd.
