That's OK when you have experience, but a better method is to spin the
wheel while bracing a grease pencil against the frame and slowly
advancing it toward the rim. This marks the "high" points and remains
as a reference during adjustments.

The OP's appears to be unable to determine if his wheel may not be
sprung beyond true-ability. He should take it to a bike shop.
