    Post some pictures.

    Can't say much without seeing it, with the wheel in and some of the dropouts.

    Surely you mean the rim, depending on how it is not centered could be issued with drop out (unless it has a maxle) or the dishing is out.

    It’s very helpful advice. The FAQs give a step by step guide to posting pictures.

    No.

    You need to upload to an external host such as Flikr and then post from there.

    All in the FAQ, its a frequent question which is why its masterly hidden in the FAQ.
