Saying “centering of the rim” is rather uneconomical in terms of word usage. I suspect that 90% of the cycling public would look at you with a blank stare if you called dishing a wheel by that string of words. Granted the vast majority of people have no idea what “dishing” is anyway.

People also mistakenly use "dish" to describe the section of a rim.
You lost me. I’ve not a clue of what you are trying to say.
