I usually spin the wheel and let a small wrench or screwdriver bounce off the spokes - and you can compensate for dish by the pattern of sounds (bink-bonk-bink-bonk).... This has worked well for the motorcycle wheels I have built too.

Nice job though @Velocivixen - must feel good to be done that one!!
