The wires truely won't make that much of a difference until you are truley serious with the power. But, if you want good ones, get some with the least amount of resistance possible......from what I understand that would be ......oh crap who am I thinking of.....they make ignition systems, everyone and the brother uses them......M.....M something.......ARGH!!!!!

Edit: ROFL, MSD hahaha thanx summitracing.com......I am going to get more coffee.

Why do you say that? I mean sure I will accept your answer if you can back it up with some facts.

No question, Yoda is right...Magnecor. They've got some good information on their site:
http://www.magnecor.com/

I believe they also have a liftetime warranty. Unless you're an all out racer their 8mm wires will be enough. If you're all out race with high temps. you might want to consider their 10mm wires. They both are the same internally, the 10mm just have more insulation.

Ive heard alot of good things about Magnecor, they are supposed to be the best. I have a set of MSD wires and they are nice too. You just want something that is quality and wont break on you. Also, as far as performance goes, I did not notice anything in the way of gains in power or gas mileage with my wires on, which is why as someone said stock/NGK's may be the way to go (cheaper but good quality), unless your car is already highly tuned.

No, but they are usually cheaper. They are only 7mm as opposed to 8.5mm like the MSD's or Magnecor's (which might be bigger actually, I cant remember) NGK might actually make the same wires as OEM parts, or was that just the spark plugs?
