Stronglight Dural 8/9/10s (I use Stronglight Zicral; Dural seems to be more budget oriented)

Another reason why I liked the Stronglight chainrings was because they have a narrow profile where they join the crank arm spider, so it's less noticeable that it's not an original part. On my 7400 crank, the chainring profile is maybe 1mm wider on each side than a spider arm, so it isn't too bad. Obviously an original chainring would be perfect looking. Another chainring option is the Specialites TA Alize which is classic looking and comes in silver. I do not own one, however; so can't give any input on pricing or aesthetic fit with your particular crank.
