If you just can't find what you want then I suggest the following.
Buy something like the bicycle rack linked below, which is rated to 120 lbs.

Then cut the end off at the curve so that it is just a post sticking straight up. Get some 1/4" plate and drill/bolt up something in the shape of an H (or just a big square) so that you can bolt the wheel to it and it will hold solid. Finish by getting a thick piece of pipe that you can slip inside the bike rack post and bolt it in. Then attach the H to the piece sticking up with a couple bolts.
Alternately, you could buy the rack and ask a local shop to weld up something that will hold the wheel on. Figure the shop will charge a couple hours labor and materials. Total cost with the rack would probably be around $400, but you now have exactly what you wanted. They might even be able to make the wheel mount rotate so its easier to mount the tire back on there.
