Sorry, but those are the only two places that i have heard of also. You can probably get them through all of the shops, but they will just be the same ones OMF or JL.

Now that i think about it, I think that Champion wheel sells reinforcing rings, but i don't know the #.

Good Luck

try your local metal shop and see if they can plasma cut a ring out of aluminum. thats what i did for my first rims. i had them cut 4 pieces, 8in OD and 6in ID then i tig welded them in! cost nothing!

The make your own reinforcing ring is an OK plan, but if you do it take some measurements for the holes that you are going to drill! I have seen some guys that made theirs by "eyeballing" and they look absolutely terrible. I am ashamed to be seen at the same starting line with them!

I think I will just make my own. I dont have a problem doing that, I just thought somebody might be selling them for what they are actually worth. Thanks
