Roasted

Sorry if I'm rambling, but I sort of thought of something that I could do.

Just get a popcicle stick, cut it down to size, and finally sand the edges just to make sure it fits PERFECTLY in between the fork and the rim. Of course, if it fits perfectly on both sides, then the wheel is straight. Of course I'll have to re-make them a few times until the rim gets straight, because it will be kind of hard to continuously reuse them if they are the wrong size.

I just figured I'd share what I thought of. I'll try it out tomorrow.

edit - When you tune the spokes a bit, then ride the bike... is it normal to hear some kinking and clicking of some sort? It stops after the wheels take a few rotations but I didn't expect to hear it in the first place. *unsure*
