If you were able to get the ones with rims, please let me know how you did it.

Hi Raul; I hunted through the catalogs and I agree it is pretty confusing. It appears to me that the HTD belts do not come with a flange; If you look at the figures for the GT2 sprockets they call out a type "A" on the top of the picture for unflanged and type "AF" on the bottom of the picture where the flange is shown. In the HTD picture it shows the same flange on the bottom but doesn't call out a different type; in the type columns for the HTD sprockets I don't see any types with an "F" suffix.
