One way that works for me is to jack up and support the wheel , clamp a piece of stiff wire like a bicycle spoke to a jackstand or some similar base and set one end close to the outside edge of the rim. Turn the wheel by hand and watch fot horizontal and vertical runout. Check different places on both the inside and outside perimeters of the rim. Variations of more than 1/16"(.060", 1.5mm) should make you worry, less if you're fussy. The outer edge of the rim is well supported by the spokes, but the inside is easy to bend.
