Question help finding piston rings

I have a set of the old style wiseco pistons I can't find any rings for. The bore is 3.905 and the ring sizes are 1/16, 1/16, 3/16. The 3/16 ring is the problem. The car is gonna be seing a lot of boost. Does anyone know of a place to get a set of rings for these pistons? Or maybe a shop guy that can piece together a set that can do the job? Thanks in advance...

the 3/16 is the oil ring, you need to be more concerned with the top ring for boost and if im not mistaken that is a very common ring package. I know total seal has a "search by bore" list on their website. you may want to start there.

yeah i can find hellfire rings (or really any steel top ring/napier second ring) with 1/16 for the top two but the oil ring is 3mm not 3/16. it seems that any set i find that would be great for boost has the wrong oil ring and any set that has the right oil ring would not take the boost im trying to run. i didnt know about their search by bore section on their site. i must have missed that, i'll check that out. thanks
