+1 Don't adjust just one spoke, adjust several. I usually do 3 on each side (so I will do a group of six). Notice that adjacent spokes pull to the opposite side. So make sure you are tightening the right ones! Loosen one side slightly, tighten the other side slightly, like the 1/8th turn mentioned above. Don't get in a hurry, small adjustments will bring it around.

Be sure you are watching the rim and not the tire. The tire can fool you.
