Loose steering on center. Wanders.

I noticed this after I installed my wheels and got used to them. I recently had the car aligned after i installed the drop springs. The guy used this older type of alignment machine. -Not the hub mounted Camber tool (the OLD one) but it wasn't the wireless heads either.

Ok, this car has a hard time finding a true center now. I'm thinking a Caster issue. It has normal tension when in a sharp turn, but at center it wanders. It feels as if it is somewhat pulling, then straightens it self out, then starts pulling again. Is this an aftermarket wheel concern or should I have it re-aligned? The Chevy dealer wouldn't do it because they said my wheels were too big...... I thought the wireless heads would fit 18's.

OR, would this be the PHB adjustment? I noticed that my rear is just a hair off center. -I asked the guy to check the thrust angle w/ the alignment... he didn't... old guy, prolly senile...
