The flares are, WERE, made by GM in New Jersey as an export option for the Japanese market. They fit over the pressed body "flare". The Chevy guys here have tried to source them but to no avail.
Now if shipping wasn't so expensive I could buy used ones here & ship them over. Problem is, We don't have enough Blazers here to strip to supply the US demand. lol Everyone wants a set for their truck! ESPECIALLY George! LOL

From what I hear there wont be anymore either because of the new import laws on jap vehicles so what we have now is it.
And as for sending flares back to the US, I think we should just enjoy and tease them some more at least for now HAHAHAHAHA

The GM plant that made the blazers is about 30-40 minutes from my house. Too bad they knocked it down.

You'll need to do a stop over in Auckland & pick a set up, I think Kiwiblazer said in one of his posts that they are $250 nz a wheel, a full set would set you back $1000 nz.
