Rear tire wobble

jsmits
So I'm going to take the bike in somewhere this week, as I have a slight wobble in my rear tire. Wanted to ask you guys what you thought. You can see the wobble when looking straight on from the rear of the bike. You can see the tire lop a bit, and shift right from dead center at a certain part of it's rotation. I'm thinking its uneven tire wear, or a slightly bent rim, but could it be the wheel bearings possibly? Or maybe I put the thing back on wrong? Sounds almost impossible I know, but I've done dumber things when in a rush.

You know what, I remember having to use the rim for leverage when i had problems with my center stand after getting the bike back together. I don't think i bent it but I could of came down on the bead. That might explain it.

Thanks for any insight!

I doubt it is wheel bearings, but what kind of rim is it?
