Saluda has a fine selection, as does Wuhan.

Chinas!
I have an 18'' and a 16'' China, love both the sounds, the 18 is above my HiHats and the 16 is right next to above my ride on the left.

try the Zildjian ZBT 18" china, you can pick one up over here for about 60 pound which is like $100.
or if you wanna go a little cheaper, go for Wuhan, they make excellent China cymbals for cheap prices

dont get the zbt china, get a couple wuhans instead. i have the zbt and im about ready to get rid of it becuase it has a weird sound to it, not that fast, trashy china sound that everyone is looking for but a long, gongy, bright sound.

For $100 or so I'd recommend Saluda over Wuhan any day. Wuhans are nice, but in the end, they're very disposable because they crack easily. I don't think they're the most musical cymbals either. Jamie @ Saluda will make you a completely custom china, for around that amount of money depending on the size. I think a 17" would be about $100 depending on the series. I have a Blackened Mist-X Crash (17") that is great. Not quite what I'm looking for, so I decided not to pursue any others, and it's currently for sale, but I still have nothing but respect for him and the cymbals. I'll always recommend them.
