I had to get a set of rings for some srp's and I had to go to je/srp for them because they were a different thickness than stock rings. So I'd say they are most likely an item you will have to order from weisco or possibly Total Seal would make something for you.

I have installed two sets of wiesco pistons in the last few months and we ended up breaking on set of the weisco's so just for fun I checked the thickness of them compaired to the stock set and they were identical. so if you have a mic. just check the stock ones compared to it. but I would say you are ok with weiscos and if all else fails just call them on the phone they are really good about answering questions over the phone my brother inlaw actually talked the the owner of weisco once.

i've heard horror stories about total seal piston rings

I'd probably do whatever wiesco recommends to run with their pistons.
