Default Spark Plug Wires w/ MSD Ignition

Which wires do u use/recommend for those of you w/ a MSD? Stock wires will not fit. Here are prices of some wires I got. Nology are obviously the best wires, but also the most expensive. Any suggestions?
Nology $170
Carkitect $73
Magnecor $90
MSD $69.95

I actually seen some tests on nology wires, they can't handle the heat from an MSD ignition. Go magnecor 8.5mm KV85 wires. You will be very happy, they are by far THE best quaility wires ever made, they work very well with MSD. I have this setup, all I have to say is, wow!

someone mentioned that I should go w/ MSD wires b/c they would fit the best. I'm currently running Magnecores now but it's time to replace those suckers as I'm doing my 60K maintenance.

You didn't mention the best wires made...NGK. (They also make stock Honda wires, the second best wire you could put on your car.) NGK's are not fat riceboy wires. They are stock looking blue color. Look at JoJo's Edelbrock Civic. NGK's. No one makes more Honda power and that's what they run.
List price is $59. They are hard to find.

I'm using stock auto zone wires with my 6a. Works fine. No sense in running expensive wires.

What do you mean they won't fit? Are you talking about a MSD distributor cap? By the way, stock Honda wires are the way to go.

Get the MSD wires! They are the best wires made that I've ever seen! I've used several other brands and these are beautiful! Plus, they're made to work perfectly with their other ignition stuff.
