Does it pull to the left or right? If it doesn't, you can just remove the wheel, and adjust it a few teeth. Someone may have removed the wheel and re-installed it incorrectly. If it does pull, you should get an alignment.

I would have a four-wheel alignment done, especially if you've got some decent tires on it. The shop I go to only charges me around $65.
Once you're confident of that it's tracking straight (including thrust angle) then correct the steering wheel.
