Mine were ghetto rolled by a friend of mine who claimed to know what he was doing. Now my paint is starting to crack on the inside of the fender. Now I'm too afraid to even drive my car on the road when there's even the slightest chance of there being salt.
I was told that A&L autobody rents out a fender roller. Get that and make sure you have a heat gun, and you'll be fine.

Yea i was told that rollin fenders can turn out bad if done wrong, just like how you said your paint was chippin. I'm all about keeping it clean, regardless of price. Thanks for the tip ILL

I'm probably going to PM you in a few weeks when my wheels for my civic come in... I hadn't planned on rolling the fenders, but if someone who knows what they're doing does it then I'd be more interested. Plus then I could fit some 225 azenis

mine was rolled old skool with a panel hammer, a rubber mallet and a heatgun because I couldnt get hold of a fender roller and it was the day before a show. I have no probs and no paint cracking because we took our time, but if you can do it with a proper tool id recommend it!
