This is what the system looks like after 167M years... It is now extremely wide (radius = 75000 ly) as opposed to initial config (radius = 1025 ly)  and ever-expanding in a homothetic way.

(Color mode set to "Velocities")

A few new screenshots using green for one ring, red for the other.

XML source included.

That would probably be impossible to do on my computer.
