Fender Flares

Newbie here who just got an 06 S and have started drawing up a shopping list of minor mods. Would appreciate any suggestions or directions.
I am trying to find wide smooth finish non exterior bolt mount )ie mounted using factory hardware/holes) fender flares like those offered by “Keep it Aesthetics” who appear to have closed shop and Miniflares in UK who manufactures a similar style of flare but don’t currently cater for R53’s.
I also came across some rims I liked from Avid1 but again sadly they no longer carry that style of wheel in a 16x8 Size.
I am in a holding pattern for the wheels and tires Until I can find the flares which will then decide the offset and tire size.
Any help on the flares would be appreciated

Here some other options as I believe some of those flare companies faded away as soon as they came.
