Installed the new GT350 wheel, took about 45 minutes, hardest part was getting the springs to pop when taking the wheel off. Otherwise pretty straightforward.
Took it for a test drive and immediately noticed that when the wheel is straight, car pulls to the left. I didn't have this problem before I installed the wheel, car drove perfectly straight when the wheel was straight, so likely some user error here on the installation.:headbonk:
Took the wheel off again and tried to get it aligned, but nothing doing, still pulling to the left.
So what is the easiest way to get this straightened out, pun intended?:shrug:

The steering wheel has some play when you tighten the steering wheel bolt down.

If it was centered with your old wheel (was it?), you should be able to center it with the new one.

It was centered with the old wheel, yes, so I believe it should be pretty easy to get straight, but I've now tried again, with no luck.

That's actually the video I watched while doing the swap.
I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Thanks for the help/advice.

If you remove your airbag and remove the bolt which holds the wheel, look at the part that receives the bolt. There is a dot which indicates top dead center. Make sure your wheel is aligned with TDC provided the wheels/tires are straight on the car.

Check out 19:35 in this video. You'll see the dimple/dot at TDC.
