Factory wheels are most often sold under the assumption that they will need a tweak after a while. Handbuilt wheels can do. But its a question of a little truing to further even tension after some real would de-stressing. The more even the spoke tension at the start, the less likely this will be.
As my road wheels have internal nipples, and carbon rims. I was mega careful to tension them, slowly, and evenly.
