Sorry if I gave the impression that the wheels are significantly out of true, they are not. I have not measured the total runout, however it is extremely small.
I wouldn't say that it's "just the rims," it's clearly the product of the interaction between the rims, the pads, and the admittedly very cheap and slightly sloppy brake calipers. As an experiment, I've ordered a Tektro 857Al caliper to install in the front and see if that makes a significant difference. At $12, it's a cheap test.
