:stumped: You might be able to do it using hard or soft fx and bones.

I think a 2 point poly chain with hard-fx and then metalink your hires mesh. must be a ton of threads on this process here.

Hard link...

2 point poly chain, clothFx with a collision offset to the same diameter as your metal rings, then hardlink.

HowardM, did some tests on this I think. Do some searches for his posts and I'm pretty sure you'll turn something up. :)
