    Head down to your local rock climbing shop and ask for descending rings or rappelling rings. They should weight about 11 grams and rated for approximately 1650kg. SMC is one brand name and Omega Pacific is another.

    Cheers

    the steel ones are cheap at home depot and lowes. if you are just TRYING something. if you like it, order aluminum ones.
    REI has the rings.http://www.rei.com/product/471123
