Normally, the rim is the first component of any wheel to fail, either from cracking due to fatigue or from brake track abrasion. If your rim was bent and straightened later, that is even more reason to not reuse it.

My advice: get a new rim. It's the cheapest part of any wheel build and the most vulnerable to damage.
