Flaming river has a new wheel coming out that is very similar to that, but a little more like the "Tuff" wheel. No pricing yet though.

Tuff wheel style wheel from them has extra holes in the spokes and is chrome.

The fish will turn around and try to swim upstream.

is this wheel being repoped?

RIMBLOW.. repop'd.. not likely. If you ever seen one w/ really nice org spokes.. hard to match. Mine should be coming back 2day.. will post pics. The guy resored the outside wheel, the silver lining and the black underside. Mine had a crack and no silver on the outside. My org horn button still works.. although it's beginning to get hard. My spokes were like NOS & he chrged me 200. I'm sure a complete resto would cost $600 + depending on the spoke condition, switch & # of cracks.
