Oh, I agree, there could be nothing wrong and the wheel is off-center, but I think the minimal cost of having that verified is worth it; if the car is slightly out of alignment, and *that* is the cause of the wheel being off-center, then something much more expensive than an alignment may be wearing because of it.
