Default Affordable Rock Rings!!!!

I think I thought this up on my own!!! Tried searching for this with no result, so if someone already thought of this one feel free to "own it" . I was gonna try and sell 'em, but whats the sense? so here it is, free for the taking.......and right down the street at your local hardware store.

I found these desktop grommets or hole plugs whatever you wanna call 'em for 4 bucks each @ home depot but i've seen cheaper ones elsewhere(about $2 each if you buy enough).

I use ofna double narrowed wheels and since the outer bead was thinner i needed cut away about 3/8 of an inch(dremel)

After cutting it should look like this

Simply glue on and now you have clean looking inexpensive rock rings

Oh yeah, i tryed em on hpi wheels and tamiya wheels(2.2 only) as well and they fit pretty good too!!!!
Here's a pic of the cheaper ones(i paid $2.50 each)

Folks remember this a cheap alternative to the good stuff(there are many different sources offering much better quality items that are definately worth every penny!), and by no means am I trying to steer anyone away from buying anything from any of our great vendors on this site!!!!
I hope i didn't step on anyones feet in here....if so
