How can you tell if you've bent a rim?

It seems there's been a lot of talk on the forum lately about people bending rims and having all kinds of problems with the RFT's.

My question is: How can you tell if you bent a rim (or more than one rim). I don't believe I have bent a rim, but I'd like to know what to look for in future. Can you tell from a visual inspection? Where would you look? How does the car feel/ride/sound with bent rim(s)? How does the feeling change at different speeds? Are there any places you can take your car where they can check this (like Discount Tire or something like that)? How does a bent rim feel different from poor alignment, or uneven tire pressure, or worn tires? Any input or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...
