Just off the phone with RK Sport. The molds still belong to Jeff and if he sends RKS an order they manufacture and ship to customer. Nothing has changed. If Dennis at Double D is selling these he is purchasing from TPE then re-selling to you. I spoke with and exchanged emails with RK Sport last week regarding this and called again today. The TPE fenders look great but it's a 50-50 chance you'll get product and likely a lot higher chance it will be much later than promised. No problem with RKS, they fill the orders they get paid for by Jeff. Not a supporting vendor here because of this problem before. I wish they'd work something out on the molds too as I'd love to get a set of the front flares.
We just got a set from RK sports yesterday it took about 3 weeks to make.

Yes it is true that Jeff still own the rights and RK sport makes them. The ones from Double are copies made by Verticle Doors which are horrible needs at least 10 hrs on each fender to correct.

That is because people install wide fenders so they can use wide tires. It will "work" with as narrow a tire as you like. It will just look silly. No need for wide fenders with narrow tires. 305mm tires fit under OEM fenders.
