I wouldn't build a business plan on the hopes that people will start drilling their alloy wheels or wheelnuts.

Relatively few people go about modifying their cars.
Even fewer modify their cars for better fuel consumption.


I do think Vekke's plan can work if the parts are easy to fit ; if fitting them is reversible without damage; if they're effective at reducing fuel consumption (that is: the proven mods on the ecomodder list); and if they're cheap enough not to scare people away from the initial investment.
