Yeah, don't skew the wheel to center in a mis-aligned frame. If your wheel is off to one side at the chainstays or seat-stays, you can verify that the frame is out of whack by flipping a properly-dished wheel. You'll find that the rim is still off to one side by the same amount. The wheel is fine, the frame is off and should be fixed.
