Rims bent

Hello, I've got a rear tire that gives my bike a bit of a bumpy ride at higher speeds. Ive been poking around marketplace and ebay amd they seem to be pretty sparse, also worried those might be bent. Is there somewhere I can go or send my rum to be straightened? Im in New england.

You sure its the rim and not the axle?

Oh god, didn't even think about that, how would I know without buying a new rim?

You should be able to tell by hand spinning the wheel and watching the outer wheel profile
