These are pretty close and half the value.
The billet finish ones prices are 100+ pretty pricey.

Installing the guage rings was one of the first mods I performed back in 2005. I think I bought them from WCC and they are the aluminum rings. They look great and I also like the purple-ish glow at night.

Those are the aluminum ones, yes they are that much. we have plastic ones that are less, and pretty much look the same as well. about 2/3 the price

Many of the major vendors have the gauge bezel rings. Just check around and see who has the best price.

Just a caution to anyone trying this mod. Indeed, the outcome, if done well looks great but there are many sources for problems. Once inside the cluster with the plastic cover off, the surrounding black material is extremely sensitive to finger oils, touch, and debris. Also, I found it takes super precision to get those gauges to be glued in without the glue oozing out the side and then getting it on the aluminum bezels. Okay, perhaps I am not the most mechanical inclined but just an advisory. IF anyone wants to professionally re-do mine, send me a PM.

RPI Designs I purchased aluminum ones at Carlisle for $74.95 which is the current price on their web site and also today only for web orders 5-10% savings. And also listed as free shipping item.
