Spotting a Bent Wheel?

I hit a unexpected pot hole at 65 mph tonight and I think I'm feeling a bit of vibration from that wheel now. I gave it a quick look but as its dark I couldn't see much. Before when I've had a bent wheel I couldn't spot it without taking it off the car. Is there anything that I could look for short of that?

Just jack up that wheel and spin it. You might also have a damaged tire. Just look for anything uneven as it rotates.

FYI, carefully inspect the INSIDE of the wheel. This is where most of the damage will be found.
