Default 4.38 rings

What is the 'standard" street race replacement nowadays. Total seal classics? 1/16x2
currently has BWE rings. Just looking to get an extra season or two out of this combo. I dont think im going to spray it, but just uncase you have a nitrous ring you like...
I asked in the street section because its where all the heavy hitters are hanging out nowadays
thanks

I am curious what others use. I have the classics you mentioned in most stuff. But the toughest ring for the money I have found is a Speedpro Hellfire. The only top ring that might be tougher would probably be something in tool steel. It takes FOREVER to do the ring gaps, I was shocked the first time I ground on one, even with power tools. Tough rings for the buck and spray worthy, 4.38” bore might be a problem with hellfires, mine are 4.375”.

Lol. Yes the stars have to be aligned just right or they can beat the heck out of the bores.
