Source for Good Aluminum Wheels?

I'm trying to find 26" cruiser wheels with coaster brakes that won't rust--so wheels made with aluminum hubs, aluminum rims and stainless steel spokes. Anyone know where I could find these?

Thanks.

Interesting about the Sturmey-Archer hubs, thanks.

I will probably just buy the wheelset from Bike Island, but as far as I can tell they have steel rear coaster hubs that will rust.
