wal-mart has ones that go inside the spokes. you have to thread them in.
seager bought some for his 20 inch. woulda been better if his rim didn't
have assloads of spokes(48 i think) and the little clamps to keep if
from moving on the hub were able to be tightened tight enough. also i
think due to the massive amount of spokes/no room for fingers/tools to
tighten things up.

That fancy hub posted by smc02 looks cool, but probably wouldn't be much
good on a unicycle. Radially spoked wheels are no good for a wheel that
has to transmit torque from the hub (so it's really only useful for the
front wheel of a bike, and even then only if not using any form of hub
braking).

There are similar hub designs around that look unusual, and still have
the advantage of using straight spokes (less chance of spoke breakage -
they usually break at the hooked end of a conventional spoke where it
goes through the hub flange), but are laced in a suitable way for a
drive wheel, so could be used on a unicycle. Advocates of these hubs
claim that fewer spokes can be used because of the stronger spoke/hub
interface, but I suspect that rim stability is probably more of a
problem on a unicycle (with the higher lateral forces than on a bike
wheel) than spoke breakage. A unicycle hub built this way would look
pretty cool I think.

There are various designs around, but here's a picture of one I found
quickly:

Yes, that radial BMX hub was really cool. It would make a great B.C.
wheel hub! But yes, you don't want radial spokes on a regular unicycle
unless, like this thread started out, it's just for looks and not for
hard riding.

Thinking about it, I seem to remember seeing a unicycle wheel built with
a hub specially drilled to take twice the normal number of spokes
(presumably 72 or 96 spokes then). That looked cool, and as far as I
can remember it was radially spoked - perhaps with so many spokes it was
rigid enough. I think it may have been one of Darren Bedford's (?)

I know Andy Schwarz has a sweet looking radial spoked 20" freestyle uni.
Don't know the number but I think its' 48 spokes? It looks awesome but
he breaks so many spokes it's not even funny. Sometimes he breaks a
couple at a time! And it's seldom that he rides it with all the spokes
on cause it always seems to be missing at least one. So ya they are
great for looks but doing any tricks is not good.

Having the nipples attached to the hub rather than the rim has the
advantage of keeping more of the mass near the centre. This is done on
some performance manual wheelchairs.
