I suggest you take some time and tension the spokes equally. Start at the valve stem and tension near spoke and count spokes to 7 and tension spoke, continue around the rim. Continue until all spokes are fairly evenly tensioned, listen for the sound. The reason for uneven spoke tensioning is it evenly distributes tension around the rim to ease truing and balance. Do both rims and go for a ride. Ride quality and handling should be improved. Good luck. You should only have to do this a couple times if done thoroughly.
