Nissan motorsports or Total Seal make good ring sets. For street, i'd recommend Nissan rings. Total seal makes a gapless ring set. However, based on some discussions I've had with Rebello, they said that it is overkill for the street, and they tend to require more work to put in. Also, the expansion rates on the Total Seal rings are way different too. This may contribute to lots of noise/wear until the slugs sufficiently heatup.
