Ummm... a bike shop? ETRTO 406mm rims are the most common so-called
"20-inch" rims out there. Any bike shop should have a couple in stock,
and if you're looking for choices, look at any of the online BMX
stores. 406mm rims are available in many variations, from light to
ultra-beefy.

Here's a sampling from the Quality Bike Products catalog:

running on the Harris Cyclery site. Harris knows off-the-wall parts,
but many, many U.S. bike shops can order parts from QBP.

Here's what's available from BikePartsUSA:

Note that this listing includes 20 x 1 1/8" and 20 x 1 3/8" rims, which
are ETRTO 451mm rims and not interchangeable with 406 rims.

Thanks Jeff. That's very useful information. I didn't know that ETRTO
even existed, or that there was a difference between 1.5" and 1 1/2"
wheels. Now I know.
