RE: fender flares
Been through this myself last February when I got my truck from VA and found out it wouldn't pass here in WV with the 1" of tire exposed. I decided to F*** it, change out the tires for the inspection then swap 'em back. You're right, prices are all over the place as well as looks and quality. Question: Do you NEED them or just like the look? Some look better than others but there is always the rot they can cause on your fenders................

RE: fender flares
I,m pretty much putting them on for the look. I fixed some rust on the rear fenders already, and I didn,t want to pay to have painted exactly. The truck has 195,000 on it and that was the onlyarea with rust. just trying to keep looking as good as possible, as cheap as possible. I also think fender flares look good anyway, but I'm starting to think it would be cheaper to paint.

If I get into any propblems with the law down the line I'll more than likely go with Xenon flares. Was only leaning towards them up until last week when I saw a Ram while I was Ohio that was running a set. They really do look more like they belong on the truck than others, plus have a tighter fight at the seam, but some people like the "look at my flares" appearance (eg:Bushwhacker, others). Gonna cost you though, especially if you want to paint them to match. Personally, I'd fix the rust right and repaint.
