Default Wheel well flares

I'm looking to get some wheel well flares for my truck but all i'm finding are offroading ones. I want some flares that are more low profile maybe an inch or less in width and go about 4 or so inches up. Also, paintable.. Anyone know of where i can find some?

Hontzy87,

Have you considered the DODGE Ram Power Wagon Flares? They are generally less than any of the Bushwacker flares, they extend about 3 to 4 inches up the side of the vehicle, and are easy to install. Also they extend out maybe only 1/2" from the truck body.

I just put them on my truck and am very happy. But whether they are paintable or not I do not know as they are pretty flexible.

Lots of choices out there, but when I looked a lot were definately not of interest to me; poor appearance, materials or just general look!
