Need Source for CHEAP Cork Rings

I plan to do some experimenting with cork and only need low grade cork rings for what I'm doing, but I do need them with 1/4" ID. I don't carry about color or pits or voids, as long as the rings will hold together and they're cheap. I got a couple of cork practice sticks from Andy Dear, and they were just about right, pitted and pretty crummy,but the ID was 1/2" so I can't use those for this project.

They would be great if I couldn't drive my car through them.
