Those flares are all part of the bodywork. They are probably fiberglass or urethane that was riveted and molded into the body. The only exception MIGHT be the front fender on that silver car... I really cant tell if that has been rolled or if it is a molded flare. If it was rolled, it was probably done before it was painted, as it is very difficult to roll that much of an angle without cracking the paint.

yeah, im not much for the flares, but to each their own...... i went the route od 30mm fenders...... you can barely tell they are wider.....but i was able to fit 17x8 w/ a 30 offset under them perfect...
note..... i did see the red one in the picture above in person, and i have to say, the rear flare wasnt all that bad..... but i wont do it

I was thinking that someone sold a fender rolling tool. Like JC Whitney or something...
Do a search for fender rolling and it should turn up something. As was mentioned, you definitely can't go too far w/a painted fender and expect it not to crack. You could use the 50s method of a baseball bat too -- requires a little more finesse and you don't have as much control.
edit: Here are a couple of threads:

look at the second thread, there is a link to the tool @ Tire Rack.

Then just get a set of 30mm wider fenders.. you are going to have to paint the fenders anyway.....
PS.... having your wheels sticking out past the fender is illegal in most places anyway.. flares or not!!
