We present 2D numerical simulations of evolving ring nebulae around moving Wolf-Rayet stars. We have considered the interaction of the fast WR wind with the circumstellar matter modified by the previous action of the slow RSG wind. The resulting shell morphology is far from spherical and shows scallops due to several kinds of instabilities. The exact appearance of the ring nebula depends on the value of several parameters such as the unperturbed medium density and the velocity of the star.
