from a previous post...you said you want colors and you will get lots of choice with Master Wrap...I don't know how much you know about wraps but since you don't know where to get them I will assume not much
let me tell you a couple of things
First off, thickness means something and how a wrap feels and plays is much different when using a "thick" wrap verses a "thin" wrap...example is the Master Wrap line...very big difference between the 2 and you will find this with other wraps from Tennis compaines (called Overwraps in Tennis)
Second, a wrap with the same thickness, same company, same wrap material, and different color will not feel, wrap, or play the same...something about how the color die interacts with the wrap material so it is not only about getting the color you want...for me it started about color cause I wanted something that fit my personality but now it is strickly about best wrap for me...I use the Master Wrap Thin Yellow
Third, how you wrap makes a difference too...some people pull very hard and wrap the wrap very tight...using the same wrap, same handle, and someone like that wraps and then you play one I wrap (I wrap with minimal amount of torque) you will find two things...first, they play and feel much differnent...second, the tight wraped ones won't last as long
Forth and final...you can't judge a wrap by its price. I used to use Wilson Overgrips White and would buy them in rolls of $30 which made them about $1 a peace including shipping but now I use Master Wraps which are $2 no matter where you buy them...I have found Master Wraps last at least twice as long so I really don't end up paying more...it wouldn't matter to me because I am going to use what I think is best but most people I know are significantly influenced by cost...by the way, I still think the Wilson's are a good wrap, I just like the Master Wraps much better and the last longer but Wilson is number 2...but, if you want to try the Wilson's, you can usually get them at Walmart and recently someone I know found them 3 for $2 which is a great price

the only exception is wraps and wraps bands...the best place for those is foosball.com
http://foosdirect-store.stores.yahoo.net/wraps.htmlsome people make there own wrap bands but if you are like me and don't want to take the time, there is no place even close for wrap band pricing....
http://foosdirect-store.stores.yahoo.net/wrapbands1.htmlon wraps...I have tried tons and tons of stuff and have settled on Master Wraps...foosball.com carries them and usually has a good supply especially the thin ones which I use but Master Wraps are owned by Terry, Tood, and Rico and you can get them at their site if you prefer (same price) but last time I went to order a bunch of Thin Yellow the Master Wrap website was out and foosball.com had some ... TTR get paid either way so which ever one has what you want....
