how to check for straight wheel,seems can feel a wheel not running straight,all look ok following behind

I would just jack up the wheel in question and spin it. Runout (radial in and out) and side to side should be 1/8" or less.

Also look at the line on the tire near the rim to be sure the tire is correctly seated. WD-40 or Vaseline on the tire bead will help greatly in making it seat correctly.
