Default Where to get rolled edge flat aluminum bars?

Do anyone know a source for flat aluminum bars with rolled edges simular to what companies use to make strut bars? I checkd local hardware stores as well as online places listed here that sell roll cage fabrication materials.. so far no luck.

edit
here's a pic of the material i'm looking for.

the problem is finding a place that will sell you small quantities, ive been looking for a place that can sell me 1-1/2" half circle extruded tubing for a while now with no luck.

yeah, most places want to sell 1 stick minimum if it's a shelf item, but they will usually cut it to small quanities, just expect to pay alot more per ft.

I wish streamline tubing was cheaper. That stuff always has some ridiculous pricetag on it!
