Default Valve cover grommets Q

I need new grommets for my valve covers. I have been looking around and i was wondering if anyone knows if the felpro grommets come with that metal ring around the top. I was also wondering where i can get them cheap. It doesnt seem like you're getting much for almost 30 bucks.

Try these. Works well for me. Comes with bolts, washers and allen wrench.

That link won't open for me. Whatever washers you use make sure the rubber is either a butyl or silicone with a HIGH shore rating and absolutely NOT Neoprene; The material used for Neoprene backed washers generally has a low shore strength and is not very tolerant of engine heat resulting in quick breakdown and compression and thus loose bolts... you're better off with just copper washers over these.
