Comet aviation should have - but you might pay less somewhere else if you have the time to shop around.
Also you could try golf cart sales/service centers if the application does not call for a certified aircraft part (and obviously as long as the gross weight of your aircraft is around LSA limits).

I paid in the region of R1000.00 for two tubes from Comet about a year ago.
At the time, I tried the golf cart people and the quad bike folks. Personally, although more expensive, I felt more comfortable going with Comet.
Note the valve position. My tubes had offset valves. The golf cart ones did not. (If I remember correctly)

As far as I know all valves for split rims are off-set. Some applications require angle valves

You can try infinity aviation, we just got 600.6 and 500.5 from them
