Check out these titanium gauge rings (not shiny)

I have the shiny bavarian motowerks ones from ebay but I like this look better, wonder how the fitment is. Anyone have these?

I kinda like those, but would be a little leary of the seller - 30 negative feedbacks in the past month??

Still, less blingy is better.

Somebody bought the matte finish / "titanium" rings from a European seller earlier this year and reported problems with the installation. If I remember right, there was a fitment issue; the rings were eventually discarded. I'm not sure the problem was with this particular seller or another. Search the forum - the string should be locatable.

You can always change the appearance of aluminum rings from shiny to matte with steel wool.
