Ugh...so much fun...

How badly bent is that rim? That would be the next thing I would check. Do you have a spare? Maybe try to find a board member near you that would swap wheels and tires with you just long enough to isolate the problem.
EDIT: Did you have them rotated? If not you could still rotate them and see if the issue feels like it moves. You are heading in the right direction. Your new description of the problem could certainly be a bent rim. I have had that feeling from an aftermarket rim not seating properly because it hit the weights on the rear drum.
