typical Cheapwheel?

I bought a new rear 27 1/4 rim to install on our sacristan's bike she wanted it up and working. I bought an alloy wheel standard thing $69 worked fine but I check the dish and it was really off by maybe close to 4mm. It was reasonably true as you can get them but I basically re-dished it, is that pretty standard for cheap old school stuff? I did check the tension and it was pretty close on the drive side at 120 ( 25 park tensionmeter) and NDS was running around 16 whatever tension that is suppose to be I don't have the conversion chart handy right now. I did stress relieve the wheel again and it did not need to be trued after this so I think it is fine.
