3 Things....
1) A commons mans wallet, which nothing is wrong with that, mostly means a set of cast wheels. (which leads to #2.)
2) That's the reason you cannot find anything, because cast wheels are no where comparable to most of the forged, billet, 3-piece wheels. (which leads to #3)
3) Many cast wheels are not going to come as a 12" wheel. Cast wheels appeal to the masses of many car makes and models. Therefore, a cars stock frame and trunk will not allow for a 12" wide wheel in most cases. Definately not newer cars which the cast wheel companies now cater to. Cast wheel companies don't cater to 30 or 40 year old cars because there aren't too many of them on the road today. Cast wheels will only go up to a 10" wide wheel.

Lastly, you are limited to wider wheels like Foose, American Racing, etc. But, those are car specific and cater to older generation cars and can get a bit more expensive than cast wheels, but are far cheaper than 3-piece wheels. Oh...and by the way, that Boze Injected wheel is insane. LOL!!!
