Or, it could have been that way for a while and you just now noticed it. I'd suggest finding a mechanic with a spoke tension meter and let him thoroughly go over the wheel. Keep in mind that if the rim was damaged, he'll have to balance between even tension and trueness. A wheel with even tension yet not perfectly true will be stronger than a perfectly true wheel with uneven tension. You may have to settle for a slightly untrue wheel in your case.
I believe he used a tension meter. I could be mistaken, but it looked as if he was using one to check the spokes. However, he trued the wheel in like 15 minutes. How long would it take to properly check the tension on each spoke?

I can see the wheel wobble when I spin it and look at it. I did the whole fill the tire w/ air then let all the air out then fill it out again in order to get the tire/tube seated. Any other tips?
