So I am building a wheel
This isn't the "How do I build a wheel" thread. I was wondering where the cheapest place to get a chris king singlespeed hub and front hub at on the net was and what rim I should lace it with? What gauge spokes should I use? This is going to be a 24" dirt jumping rear wheel and 26" front.

Your web search is as good as mine for prices, but I'd be sure to check https://www.pricepoint.com, https://www.airbomb.com, and https://www.bikeman.com in addition to whatever https://www.froogle.com shows you.
For the rim, I'd probably go with a Velocity Aeroheat. Strong, well made, and priced fairly: https://www.velocitywheels.com/default.asp?contentID=604
You can see some good rim prices here:
