This is probably problem with bounding boxes, I quess that vista buffer 
and/or BB don't work very vell with differences (I quess You used 
differences of cones to create rings?)

Probably if You used mesh, or divide each ring into small sectors (each 
having own BB) that might help... BUT it's only imho.
