Niftech sells rings like these called rocket rings.. there also super machines for a ton less weight on the axle.. tho there about 14 bucks a pair i havent bought any..
I always sand my rings on a big knife sharpening block, then do 800/100/1500 grit sandparer till they are flat and smooth.. Diff action is second to none.. Its a pain in the butt.. would be nice to buy a decent set for a reasonable price.. ive also taken a set to work, and had them smashed in a press.. this works well to..
