A few things to check if not a bent rim...

Before you conclude on the bent rim or if you do conclude on the rim and replace it, let me pose some possibilities if the vibration is still there:
1. High speed re-balancing of the tires
2. Check your inner drivers. If the cv boot seal gets broken and the inner joint loses it grease, the inner cv joint can start to wear a pattern into the inner driver which can cause vibration at higher speeds. You can inspect this by opening up the boot and checking to see if there is still enough grease. Feel the inside of the inner driver for any weird patterns in the side of the driver.
It is most probably the bent rim, but I know how frustrating it can be to replace things and the problem is still there. One more thing to note: I bought my car with bad tires on it. I knew they woud need to be replaced immediately. They were 2 speed ratings away from stock. I asked the dealer to check the tires due to vibration. He concluded that 3 out of 4 rims were slightly bent. I bought new tires, the right size, had them high speed balanced and the vibration is completely gone.
Good Luck
