Try ebay. Or, you can dremmel the shine off the chome ones. BTW, are they EASY to install? Would you have a link illustrating the deed / DIY?

A) find silver rings (OEM or cheapo's) OEM might not happen, since people usually just sell them with the cluster.
B) buy chrome rings... buy a spray can of matt silver .
- sand down rings -then- paint -then- install?

I like opt: B, it seems like a fun project!
