Lots of newbies to whom rolling fenders is scary. Also lots of people from other car makes where they have probably seen some really poorly rolled fenders (hell there is plenty of S2000's with really poorly rolled fenders). So that is probably why. I cut my fenders and did over fenders and have rolled tons of S2000's at this point so it really isn't a big deal to me but to those that have no idea how or where to have it done it can be scary.
Also funny that there is 3-4 threads about the same wheels on the first page of this forum.

I have also seen fenders that were poorly done by Craigslist rollers. If you do your homework, contact the correct people to do the job nobody would ever know your fenders are rolled unless they felt for them. It hasn't hurt the resale value of any of the cars i have had rolled fenders on, most times its something the new owner would've done anyway.

Regularly check your fender liner from signs of rubbing near the fender lip. Missing tabs are the first indicator.

I won't say "absolutely no rubbing" since it is always technically possible but at OEM ride height it is very unlikely due to how much the suspension would need to compress when the wheel is turned.
