Steering wheel not centered after alignment

Is it a matter of correcting for other things going on with the car so the steering is straight though? What types of things might be damaged that would cause the slight offset? Something going on with the tie rods or something? After a bit more freeway driving, it seems the car will drift slightly to the right with my hands of the wheel when cruising at 70mph. It is very subtle but it is consistent on different patches or road. This isn't noticeable unless at speed.

The Car Was Probably Aligned With The Wheel Offset A Bit, I Would Have Left A Minor Caster Split To Avoid Any Drifting To The Right. Straightening The Wheel Is Only Adjusting The Tie Rod Ends A bit

if your car hasn't been in a front end collision or damaged suspension, more than likely, the wheel wasn't clocked straight. some aftermarket steering wheels have probs setting right, esp after initial install. saw that w/momos back in the day. AI does good work. friends know steve better than i do, but he's a straight up guy.

Good guys there. They'll fix it for you. Call them instead of posting problem that is fixed with a visit 
Auto Innovations has been great for me, couldn't recommend them more.
