I do a variation of that, but I use a wooden cradle and c-clamps to pull out low spots. Has worked well so far. But then I've only done low-profile rims yet - but double Wall alloys. Did a tubular that was outright scary. The inside face of the rim was so soft, I had to make a rather elaborate padded "shoe" for the clamp to push against not to dent it when I tightened the clamp.
