If the two wheels are truly in plane, I would look at the tire (grooved.
crowned, etc.).

Now this is what I call a fine tee up. By the time my post registers,
I wonder how many will have driven their shots right on the green...

Actually it could be a tire but is more likely the blade. The blade should
never be centered on the bottom wheel perfectly though. The tooth side of
the blade is shorter than the back side. This is just the way bandsaw blades
are. It should be close though.
How far off is yours? It could just be a really poor blade. Is there alot of
teeth on it?

First thought is the rubber wheel is out of round.

The wheel might be crowned improperly, which you could fix by having it
machined. You might also be able to build it up to the correct profile
using masking tape. Alternatively, the rubber tire might be thicker on one
side than the other. If so, try turning it around, or get a new one.
