SLS and SU make some, but they are unfinished. You would have to sand and polish them to make them look like that. The ones in the pic are probably the originals that were made by a guy on the forums.

Get the SLS rings. I don't know if the SU and SLS are the same, but the middle SU ring has never stayed on for me. Just my .02 (dunno)

I have the unfinished SU rings along with 3/4 of a solid mm set (haven't installed driver side yet) and mine hasn't fallen off yet.

I agree but mine haven't fallen of yet and I can generally hear my change rattle in the ashtray. lol I also only used 3 per ring so hopefully it will hold.

My middle one separated a week after I bought 'em. Super Glue fixed it for a while, but even then I had to re-glue it 2 or 3 times. I finally fixed it with heavy duty 3m tape, and it has stayed in place ever since. The glue dots are crap, they melted in the FL sun.

Mine haven't melted and my car is always parked in the florida sun. Maybe I just have good luck with them so far. They have been on for 4 or 5 months roughly.

Could be, (dunno) I've had mine on since they were released.
MOST of the SU rings wind up popping off sooner or later .. Some people just have good luck. :)
If you really want to pick up a good set, keep an eye on the For Sale section here for 'DaveB rings' .. That's the original maker and you won't find better quality. I have a set and to this day, think they're my best interior mod.

I like the su rings, have had em for a good 6 + months now, no popping off (but i didnt use the crap glue dots).
i like em because i couldnt control the finish i dont like that high gloss polish like the daveB's. mine are a tamer brushed aluminum.

I have the same issue with the middle SU ring. :( It tips back and forth depending upon the ambient temperature.

You wont beat the original DaveB rings. Wait for those to pop up. I belielve SLS has stopped producing the rings but might have some sets available...

You could contact DaveB and see what he has to say. I'm getting a set of brushed rings through him right now.

i bought the SLS rings and haven't had any issues....i used metal polish to bring out the shine before installing and no glue.
best part...i got them for $21 direct from them....they said they had quite a few sets left when i ordered mine but noticed they dropped the price to $18.....so who knows if they have any left by now...
