If your aluminum rim is deformed, you have to replace it completely. If your spoke rims are a little deformed, you can find a bicycle mechanic with better skills. Correcting spoke rims is a pediatrician for bicycle repairmen. You can find a bicycle mechanic with better skills to correct the deformation of spokes and rims, and he will definitely do it well. Adjusting the valve lash may not work. As far as the correction technology of spoke rims (that is, the steel wire connection you mentioned) is concerned, the bicycle repairer is definitely the authentic candidate.
