I've realized what the next big thing in trashy RiceMart automotive bling is going to be.

Stick on extended wheel lips to imitate the ridiculously stretched tire look.

Tell me I'm wrong. The idea's so wrong I have to be right.

I won't have any of the ill-gotten gains from this idea though, so somebody else can become a millionaire from it.

I like that I can make those in the shop pretty cheap I bet.

First to market will make a couple dozen dollars then an existing manufacturer will copy them and make a ton. Maybe.

In reply to GameboyRMH: I think that idea has real potential.... Seriously.

I doubt it will earn you enough to retire on your own island in the Caribbean, but you never know

i had an idea like that once. hubcaps that would make it look like you have larger rims. say a 15" hubcap that extended over the tire an inch, making it look like a 17" rim.

Dubcaps.

so dumb yet it would probably sell.

They actually made something like that- dubs with false overlips.

Not sure about the Phat Lips on my own vehicles....but I'd seriously consider the whitewall rims if I had an old enough beater. I've priced real wide whit tires. Dear God.
