    Fortunate Islands.
    Stay away from Lagunitas A little Sumpin Sumpin. No wheat whatsoever. None.

    Starburst Wheat from Saugatuck was a bit too hoppy for me. So I'm sure some of you would enjoy it. Not sure how far out they distribute tho.

    It's out of season, but when it's out again, try to get your hands on Hopster by New Glarus.

    Another vote for Modern Times Fortunate Islands and the FI+grapefruit.
    Just not Oberon. I don't know how anyone can drink that stuff.

    Also look at some White IPA's. It seems like there are two major categories: Belgian IPA's - like Hopped up wits and then there are White IPAs made with American yeast and they just use a lot of wheat in the grain bill. Although this site says differently, I am pretty sure Accumulation from New Belgium is a white IPA using their house ale yeast. So it is essentially just a wheat IPA. It's really good but you will have to wait until winter. Deschutes Chainbreaker is more of the belgian variety white IPA that is easily accessible. I like that too but it is more fruity and spicey probably not as much in line with just a hoppy wheat.

    I know this isn't gonna help you as it's not available near you but Beau's Brewing in Canada made a kick-ass hopfenweisse called "Wag The Wolf".

    Since this seems to have turned into a "Name your obscure, local hoppy wheat ale that the TS has no shot at obtaining," I'll add Voodoo's MOAR Tropic to the list.

    Half Acre's Akari Shogun is a fantastic hoppy wheat IMO! One of my favorite brews fresh
