Default Bushwacker Pocket Flare knock offs??

So i really want a set of bushwacker pocket flares but don't want to pay the ridiculous cost of $555 and above for them especially since it's warming up and i'm going to need the money for a bestop trektop

Are there no cheaper options?! When i had my TJ i bought some no name brand flares for $200 and they were awesome! Why don't they exist for the JK!?!?

When I was looking at flares about 3 months ago there were only 5 options.
1. Bushwacker
2. Xenon (narrow/wide step down)
3. Betop
4. Mopar (sahara painted or stock)
5. River Raider (as stated in lower post expensive)

I serached for hours for a less expensive option but I dont think the market on flares is all that large.

I did not want the stock look which of course the mopar are as well as the bestop. Which left me between xenon and bushwacker. I chose xenon because I got all 4 for around 400, However, I would make sure you have some big tires under either bushwacker or xenon or it looks funny. Hope it helps.

River Raider makes a nice set, but they are pricy.
