I prefer the Perfect Circle with the cast iron compression, and the chrome 3 piece oil ring. I haven't bought any in a while, but I am sure you can find oversized rings for them. Volkswagen is about the only ones I know that ever went to the trouble of boring out cylinders. This means that they are probably the original VW P/C's.
