My review is based on 45+ years as a working pro and someone who has performed the rings for decades
and worked with Owen and other top quality rings in sizes ranging from 15" to 4". In terms of
quality and finish, the original 4.5" Shoot Ogawa Ninja Rings are the gold standard, but sadly, are
no longer made. Next are the 4.5" Matthew Garrett rings (nice quality, but also a bit pricey). That
said, my new favorites are the 4" TCC rings. Smooth welds and high quality finish, both in chrome
and black. In particular, the black rings CRUSH the 4.5" Messado Rings, both in terms of smooth
welds and finish. Don't let the low price fool you - the TCC rings are FAR superior and, at a third
of the price of Messado Rings, are a BARGAIN. At this price, buy two sets. You can thank me later!

I agree with you about the quality of the rings, however, Messado's teaching is some of the best instruction on the rings out there and is more than worth the cost of the set.
What color are the ones that you get from Penguin?
penguin has about 4 different colors . There's Gold , Rose , Chrome, and black . As of 5 25 24 most appear out of stock with exception to black . I have the black ones and will say , that the OP is right , these rings are top notch. I've been doing rings for 50 plus years and sold them for 3 different magic companies over the years. I also own the messado set and the melero. For the price , these are awesome.
