Advice on Front & Rear Flares/Mud Flaps

Since I added new rims to my 2009 JCW I'm feeling the need for an add-on flare/mud flap to keep debris from being throw up by front and rear wheels. Anyone have recommendations for a good source for these? Seen a lot of cheap looking junk, but nothing decent yet. Thanks for your ideas.

... it makes the car look 'lower' a tad too ; definitely finishes off the look of the wheel arches. But don't get your hopes-up too high about the protection they'll offer. (you can click the link in my sig for all my photos)

Thanks for your post. I did get the OEM front and rear flaps but haven't popped them on yet. Once I do, I'll go looking for a mud puddle to test.
