"I was wondering about a new set of wheels"
In my car, I was in the same camp - slight out of balance (only noticed at highway speed) was a continued issue, tire set after tire set, and I considered changing wheels - until a service guy said - how are your shocks. With the years and miles it was a slap to the head type of comment. I changed all four shocks (when I changed to a new set of tires) and the issue is resolved.
The worn out shocks were causing just enough odd wear to the tires to knock them out of balance but not enough to cause overly bad (visible) tire wear.
As for a bent wheel - you should be able to check this in your driveway. Jack up one wheel so it can spin and do a visual to the rim/tire area to see if there is any deformity as it rotates.
Wheels?
