The Eastwood roller is a great tool - just don't expect to bolt it onto your hub and get perfect results without a little trial-and-error. Use a heat gun to warm the paint and prevent cracking, but be advised too much heat will also harm the paint. Also, be advised that once the lip rolls past about 45 degrees you are likely to crack the paint no matter what you do. I have found that this tool does NOT work on all cars. Wheel offsets and fender types have some impact on the amount of adjustment range from model to model, and in most cases I would not attempt to use this tool to roll a rear arch, as they are usually 2-3 layers of metal thick and you will damage these areas. A better option is to cut the metal away and reseal with an appropriate body panel bonding adhesive.
If you need to gain a little clearance for front tires, this tool might help you out. Unfortunately it's quite expensive given it's limited use coupled with the fact that it simply won't fit some cars. As a shop owner this tool has payed for itself, as I charge about $40 to roll fenders. I also rent the tool out for $20/day... but on more than one occasion the renter used the tool improperly and had to pay me to repair the resulting damage. Be careful and take your time.
