Look on the internet. Observedtrials.net has some helpful threads on wheels, try searching them.

do you ride a 26" or a 20"? for a decent stock rear wheel expect to pay at least $300. webcyclery.com

go to your lbs, buy a spin on type hub (like the surly) so you can put a freewheel onto it, and a alex dx 32 rim. Get it laced. Should be around $150.

Might as well get a new bike while you're at it.
