Mercedes will not buy John's wheels or wheel idea. That is not how car manufacturers work. If he wants to develop and sell his invention he needs to sell it directly to consumers as an after market wheel. He would have to put together all the specifications and have someone in China or Japan manufacture them. He would put up a web site where people can order them and they would be drop shipped to the customer. Eventually he might get enough of a following to establish his brand. But there is no way an OEM component manufacturer or the final product manufacturer are even going to talk to him, let alone think of buying from him.
