It makes future adjustments on the steering wheel a piece of cake for an alignment shop.

I will look into that . As we left the dealership I was talking to my wife about how in my mind they will either have to redo the alignment with the wheel centered or perhaps remove the steering wheel and move it over a spline or two.

I have worked with developing aftermarket steering wheels on Subarus, and we have to note to the customers that the splines don't always match from steering wheel to steering wheel. That you might have to redo your alignment after installation.
