That's why tension and de-stressing is a big deal on a new wheel. If it's properly de-stressed, tensioned, and trued, the wheel as a system* will not work its way out of spec.

* Think of a wheel not as a single item, but as a collection of individual spokes working in harmony to keep the hub balanced at the center of the rim. If you mess with one piece, if affects the entire system.
