How to check if your wheel is round

In the aftermath of running over this nasty stretch of road, I visibly bent one wheel. I had to figure out a way to check the roundness of the others.

Well, using a jackstand as a gage, I spun the wheel with it still on the car (jacked up in the air of course). Sure enough, the other wheel that was on the right side of the car, and went through the nasty stuff, had a very slight bend.
