Thats a strange brand name. I believe the factory rings are Goetz but I could be wrong.

Pelican shows the Goetz 95mm as NLA, only has the Deves:

I've never seen this brand before, at that price it's almost worth it to rebuild a 4.5

It says:
W/3.00 mm oil ring groove.
This sounds like there are other dimensions among the 4.5 L's. Perhaps these rings weren't actually designed for the 928 4.5L?

Deves says their stuff works in Alusil block. Who is brave enough to try?

Deves rings are well known in the 911 community. I use them in my 69 911E, excellent quality.

Are they used in Alusil cylinder liners? They list same ring set for all 100mm 928 pistons including GTS which is wrong due to 2nd compression ring design difference. If I recall right, this was informed to them year or two ago.
