Chrome Pickup Rings for LP Standard

Looking to get some chrome rings for my Epi LP Standard... I've seen them for the Gibson... will they fit the Epi? I just ordered a set of 496 and 500's in black. I'd like to match the bridge with some chrome rings... If anyone has any pics feel free to post!! Thanks!

Gibson rings won't fit. Standard vs. metric. I've dealt with this many times. I usually just fill the original holes and drill new ones. It's much easier making your Epi fit Gibson parts. Gibson parts are available everywhere. Epi parts are available nowhere. Not even from Epiphone.

yeah I have them on my ibanez sz720fm, they look sick. I actually found a place that chrome plates plastic parts. I am going to send them my pickup rings and have it done. I dont want to be drilling and filling holes.
