Was the original straight? I just did one a couple weeks ago and it seems it only went on one way. My only suggestion would be to take your car to an alignment shop.

you are likely off a spline or two, with the adaptor. get the wheels straight, then take the adaptor off, and wheel off. attach the adaptor to wheel, then slide it on, so that it is straight up, mark this possision, re-install with the adaptro lined up to those marks, so that when it is all installed it is lined up.

yeah the original is straight, i took the grant one off and installed the stock one again because i couldnt live with it on a angle. the adapter can only be installed one day because there is the white plastic tube that comes up for the horn stuff.
