You need to provide a renderer that renders the item the way you want.
Since a DefaultListCellRenderer is also a JLabel, you could create one
with the following code:

   ListCellRenderer renderer = new DefaultListCellRenderer();
   ( (JLabel) renderer ).setHorizontalAlignment( SwingConstants.RIGHT );

If your combo box is editable, you will also want to provide an editor.
