Since pvc is flexible and can be heated shape it to form a U- shape. You can use stove fire or burner.
I use our gas stove for heating and the edge of the door for shaping the pvc pipe to be a U-shape use gloves because it's hot to hold. Cool it down till pvc will be harden.

Adjust the side bolts and top bolts to the rim, and start the truing in the top side patiently, after the top rim is alligned, do the side rim. On the back rim find the thread hole on the upper part located on the brake calliper hole.
