Lots of folks use the rings that come with the kits with no problems. They take a little longer to seat than Caber, in my experience. They also have a square outer corner both top and bottom of the ring. Which can be quite problematic with a new or used cylinder, catching on the ports and such. So, there is some messing about you should do before using them. Make sure the edges of your ports are radiused correctly and will not catch the rings.

The Meteor pistons come with Caber rings because Meteor owns Caber. Problem is that Caber does not make a ring that will fit the 58mm BB kit. They do make a 58mm ring but it is not the correct thickness IIRC.
