Icon2 B18 piston ring suggestions

I got a b18c1 that I'm rebuilding

I wanted to know if they're any aftermarket brand rings that are stronger then stock. I plan on boosting this summer. My block is bored to 81mm. If oem is the best where can I get them?

Thanks

oem is fine as long as properly gapped. get them from the dealership.

question about ring gap..

what would you suggest for a street car set up with a chance of boosting to like 10 psi?

i heard numbers like .019 compression ring and .023 for the second ring
