Default need spoke advice!!!????

I have been searching everywhere for an affordable place to track down twisted spokes for my bob. I am having my St bob center hub and rim powdercoated gloss black and i want to toss a set of twisted spokes in after it is done... I know i need 40 front and rear, 19in front and 17in rear.... any advice on where to buy them so i do not go broke? or advice in buying them??? this is the first time i have ever bought spokes and had a lace wheel done. thanks for any advice!
It is really hard to located a place that makes them for the stock 17 rear tire

Try looking here.

They advertise that they have about every spoke you can think of. I don't know anything else about them except what I read on their website.
