If you want something a bit less common, try a Weihenstephan (oldest brewery in the world, I believe) or a Thurn and Taxis Roggen (obviously, not technically a wheat but a rye beer, but close and delicious).

The Belgian ones are also very good (I live in Brussels now and have had ample opportunity for testing) - Hoegaarden is the best known but many other established Belgian breweries are good, maybe better. I personally like Leffe Blanc a lot.

Good Rec. The Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier is superb and not as uncommon as you might think. Tucher Dunkles (the other Tucher Hefe) dark and different a personal fav as well. Also try the Tucher Kristallweizen, its a filtered hefe (i think) but lighter and i suspect thats what you like about hefes in general.

Augustiner would be my tip though my favourite of theirs isn't a Weizenbier - the Edelstoff.
